White House Makes Mistake

Article: Over Memorial Day weekend, President Obama made a surprise visit to U.S. soldiers stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan, where the U.S. is at war. By accident, in a memo sent to 6,000 journalists about President Obama's surprise visit, they included the name of the CIA station chief. The CIA is America's secret agent/detective agency; they collect information in countries outside America. The identities of CIA agents, especially station chiefs, is always kept secret. (Kids: why? What could happen if people know who America's secret agents are, operating in foreign lands?) The White House apologized for this mistake and out of courtesy to Obama, the U.S. press did not publish the station chief's name. But what do you think the ramifications (results) of this could be?
