How could this happen? In his just published book "The Failure Factory - How Unelected Bureaucrats, Liberal Democrats, and Big-Government Republicans Are Undermining America's Security and Leading Us to War," Bill Gertz elaborates on the shocking story of how a Hezbollah mole attained the highest security clearance in American intelligence due to POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and pervasive liberalism in the FBI and CIA. Here are a few excerpts from the chapter in his book titled "Intelligence Failure by Design." "In 1989, Nada Nadim Prouty, a 19 year old Lebanese national, entered the United States posing as a student. A year later she paid a man to pose as her husband, allowing her to obtain permanent residence and, ultimately, citizenship. Ten years later Prouty was sworn in as an FBI special agent. During her years in the FBI and later in the CIA, she conducted one of the most damaging penetrations of U.S. intelligence in history. She joined the FBI during the Clinton administration, when politically correct diversity was the order of the day and women and minorities were actively recruited. In Prouty's case, a Muslim woman was a real diversity coup! The FBI and CIA prided themselves on conducting rigorous background checks. But they ignored even obvious red flags in favor of "diversity." Prouty worked at the CIA, not simply as an analyst or Arabic linguist but as a member of the elite Directorate of Operations, which involves top-level intelligence and security affairs. Now the CIA had a Hezbollah agent in its midst, someone recruited by the politically correct bureaucrats running the agency who saw in Prouty another "two-fer": a woman case officer and a Muslim minority. Prouty obtained top-secret classified data that went to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, exposed American agents, and jeopardized anti-terrorist strategies. She was spying for one of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations,and her role was actually discovered more by accident than by design. This fatal mindset continues to pervade both the FBI and the CIA."

Because liberalism, the mental disorder that it is, has it’s morals twisted up. Christians are bad because they don’t agree with gay marraige or abortion, so they are equivelant to evil. But terrorists are ok because they are “repressed”. It’s the ultimate temper tantrum (terrorism) and they support that because that is typically how they get their way.
And I have to ask how we ended up with a man who was schooled in a muslim school, raised by a muslim stepfather until 11 (well past the age of personality development) could be President after 09/11. Not that I think all muslims are terrorists, I just think one that is this shady should be seen with a skeptical eye. That statement might not be PC, but I don’t really care anymore.

And to think, when I was 18 years old and looking to obtain the same level of clearance, they went through everything, clear back to junior high. Teachers, friends, neighbors, bosses, family. Quite a lot for an 18-year-old who’d been out of country (to Germany) for a grand total of six weeks his entire life and had not so much as a speeding ticket on his record.

I can't seem to find any source that claims that Prouty actually spied for, or passed information to, Hezbollah. Merely that she procured citizenship through fraudulent means and that she improperly accessed FBI information. Would anyone mind helping me out?

Why is this in "f-chat"?
Could you repost it correctly, with a working URL, to "f-news"?
