NEW YORK (AP)
- A former journalist and one-time press secretary for four members of Congress
was arrested Thursday on charges she served as a paid agent for the Iraqi
intelligence service before and after the U.S. invasion.
(ap) - First
and foremost, if this were a REPUBLICan, the AP would have made Damned sure that
you knew about it in the headline... Hell, if a low level member of the GOP was
to have been found wandering around a DemocRAT polling place in the 2002
Elections, Dan Rather (D) would have led a couple of nights worth of the SeeBS
Evening News with how corrupt Bushco is! Anyway, here is a story that the
DemocRATS media is sure to bury... - tha malcontent)
Susan Lindauer, 41, was arrested in her hometown of Takoma Park, Md., and was to
appear in court later in the day in Baltimore, authorities in New York said.
(What is her Party affiliation?...
- tha malcontent)
She was accused of conspiring to act as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence Service
and engaging in prohibited financial transactions involving the government of
Iraq under dictator Saddam Hussein. Prosecutors say she accepted $10,000 for he
work.
(What is her Party affiliation?...
- tha malcontent)
"I'm an anti-war activist and I'm innocent," Lindauer told WBAL-TV as she was
led to a car outside the Baltimore FBI office. "I did more to stop terrorism in
this country than anybody else. I have done good things for this country. I
worked to get weapons inspectors back to Iraq when everyone else said it was
impossible. I'm very proud and I'll stand by my achievements."
("Anti-war Activist"?... What is
her Party affiliation?... - tha malcontent)
Lindauer worked at Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer before beginning her career as a political publicist.
(What is her Party affiliation?...
- tha malcontent)
She worked for Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore. in 1993 and then Rep. Ron Wyden,
D-Ore., in 1994 before joining the office of former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley
Braun as press secretary in 1996. From March to May 2002, she worked for Rep.
Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.
(Oh, six-thousand paragraphs into
this Tripe, and we finally get to find out that she "worked" for DemocRATS... -
tha malcontent)
"Her position was eliminated in the downsizing following the 1994 elections,"
said Josh Kardon, chief of staff for now-Sen. Wyden. "She worked for us a short
period of time."
(Excuses... - tha malcontent)
Braun's current spokesperson, Loretta Kane, said the former senator does not
remember Lindauer.
(Excuses... - tha malcontent)
According to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Lindauer
made multiple visits from October 1999 through March 2002 to the Iraqi Mission
to the United Nations in Manhattan. The indictment makes no mention of her
congressional staff work.
(Evidence with political Excuses. -
tha malcontent)
There, she met with several members of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, the
foreign intelligence arm of the government of Iraq that allegedly has played a
role in terrorist operations, including an attempted assassination of former
President George H.W. Bush, the indictment alleged.
(I hate to point out biased
Redundancy, but any variation of the word "alleged", should only appear once in
any given paragraph, AP... Otherwise, the bias starts to become Verifiable! -
tha malcontent)
The government said she accepted payments from the Iraqis for her services and
expenses amounting to a total of $10,000, including $5,000 she received during a
trip to Baghdad in February and March 2002.
Her acceptance of the money and her willingness to bring it home from Iraq
violated a law prohibiting transactions with a government that sponsors
international terrorism, the government said. The indictment did not specify a
motive.
(Ignorance of the Law is not an
Excuse... And by the way, honey, Iraq has been on our "List" since before
Clinton, so taking money from our Enemies, while protesting our Country, our
Government, and our Military, was not very Wise! - tha malcontent)
The charges against Lindauer were included in an expanded indictment in the case
against Raed Rokan Al-Anbuge, 28, and Wisam Noman Al-Anbuke, the sons of Iraq's
former liaison with United Nations weapons inspectors.
The brothers were charged last year with acting as Iraqi government agents and
conspiring to do so, prosecutors said. The indictment said Lindauer conspired
with the brothers.
On Jan. 8, 2003, prosecutors said, Lindauer tried to influence U.S. foreign
policy by delivering to the home of a U.S. government official a letter in which
she conveyed her access to and contacts with members of Saddam's regime. The
official was not identified in the indictment.
(Am I the only person who is
sensing a tone of "Doubt" on the part of the AP, in regard to the claims and
evidence against this Terrorist Sympathizer? - tha malcontent)
The United States invaded Iraq in March of last year, and the government fell
the following month.
(Here
are the first 4 entries in the Dictionary for "Invade": 1.) To enter by force in
order to conquer or pillage. 2.) To encroach or intrude on; violate: �The
principal of the trusts could not be invaded without trustee approval� (Barbara
Goldsmith). 3.) To overrun as if by invading; infest: �About 1917 the
shipworm invaded the harbor of San Francisco� (Rachel Carson). 4.)To enter
and permeate, especially harmfully... Do you see a Liberal bias in the Choice of
that word, on the part of the AP, or is it just me?... - tha malcontent)
The indictment said she met on two occasions in Baltimore in June and July with
an undercover FBI agent who posed as a Libyan intelligence representative who
was seeking to support resistance groups in postwar Iraq. It said she discussed
the need for plans and foreign resources to support these groups.
According to the indictment, she continued to correspond with the undercover
agent until last month and followed the agent's instructions to leave packages
on two occasions in August in "dead drop" operations.
(But the AP continues to have it's
Doubts... Classic! - tha malcontent)
Lindauer, who was not immediately assigned a defense lawyer, faces up to 10
years in prison on the most serious charge and five years on the lesser charge
if she is convicted, prosecutors said.
("WHO WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY ASSIGNED
A DEFENSE LAWYER!!!"... If only I had sound-effects! - tha malcontent)
More than a half dozen FBI agents could be seen searching Lindauer's residence
in Takoma Park, a city known for its liberal views. Her neighbors recalled her
as friendly.
(What?... By the way, mark
the day... The AP used the "L" word! - tha malcontent)
Joao Luiz Vieire de Castro, 39, described Lindauer as "a regular American who
walks her dog in the mornings and the afternoon."
(And apparently "gives aid and
comfort" to America's "Enemies" at night! - tha malcontent)
"It's a big surprise. Who would think that it's (espionage) in your
neighborhood?" said Dean Paris, 45, who sometimes greeted Lindauer on the
street, which is less than a mile from the District of Columbia line. Paris said
he never saw anything suspicious.
(Well then, based on this extensive
AP research, she should just be set free! - tha malcontent)
But Malvina Lacey, who lives next door to Lindauer, added, "She lives in a
fantasy world."
