Was the CIA Secret Prisons Story Really a Sting Operation?

Rick Moran at RightWingNuthouse has an interesting theory that the CIA secret prisons story may really have been a sting operation run by the CIA to discover leakers in their midst. What's especially interesting is that the same day the leaker is fired, a group of European investigators can't come up with any evidence that these "secret prisons" ever existed. The whole thing could have been a story concocted as a ruse to trap those in the agency who would undermine the CIA's mission by leaking information to the press.

Could this mean that Dana Priest won a Pulitzer Price for what was basically a false story? Don't look for any corrections from the prize committee.
