This looks like an interesting article.
Bump for later read.
Wow, very interesting--citizen spys. I'm sure our government monitors this stuff as well, right? What if the lady featured in the story is playing as a terrorist and the government comes across her postings thinking she really is a terrorist? Even more strange, what if she is communicating with another citizen spy and doesn't know it? Anyway, this is all very intriguing. I think this would make a good plot for a movie.
P.S. I betcha some niteowl FReepers would be good at this.
Why would a spy allow her name and location to be published?
I applaud Rossmiller's sense of patriotism and initiative, but...
Her statement is simply breath taking in the scope of its ignorance and naiveté. She apparently has no idea just how dangerous that is, both legally (acting as the agent of a foreign power, among other things), as well as practically (being the subject of a false-flag recruitment). If you want to play at Foreign Counter-Intelligence you'd better damn well know what you're doing or have a control that does. FCI is not a game for amateurs.

This idiot published her name, her hometown, her job there, a map to it, and her picture!
His intent is obvious. I emailed him at mccarter@seattletimes.com
