A former congressional press aide was arrested Thursday and accused of maintaining an "intelligence relationship" for several years with U.S.-based spies for Saddam Hussein before the Iraqi leader was ousted.

Among other activities, authorities charged, Susan Lindauer, 40, cooperated with Iraqi intelligence agents in January last year by delivering a letter to the home of a relative, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, urging the administration to hold off its invasion of Iraq so weapons inspectors could continue their work.

My sense of this matter so far is that this person is mentally ill. Which makes it little surpsise that she worked for Wyden and Mostly-Brown.

However, all the headlines I have seen today indicate that she is linked to the White House, despite being an anti-war whackjob who worked for Democrats in the House and Senate.

It's the most egregious case of liberal news media manipulation that I've seen in quite some time. And they wonder why we scream "bias"!

[Esther Ruth]

What do you think she meant when she said "she did more than anyone else to stop terrorism in this country"? Other than having a TO high opinion of her self, Strange statement.

Liberalism, by definition, is mental illness.

MCCARTHYISM
Turns out McCarthy was right!
A badge I would wear with pride!

[Colonel_Flagg]

A very strange statement indeed. Placing herself above the Commander-in-Chief and active combat soldiers takes a fair amount of chutzpah, IMO.

You know, I've heard a lot of anti-war types insist they are "more patriotic" and are doing what they do "for the good of the country." As near as I can tell, their rationale is that by appeasing the enemy, the enemy will somehow overlook us when they do their earth-scorching. And--if you try to explain why this is about as likely to happen as h*ll freezing over, it's like trying to teach pigs to sing.

A law enforcement source said FBI agents first took notice of Lindauer during her visits to the Iraqi mission to the United Nations in New York before the war, when the mission was under heavy FBI surveillance.

Oops. I was afraid of this. The feebs probably have footage of me, walking past the mission with my middle finger extended.

***paging Ann Coulter.

[BikePacker]

Joe McCarthy was RIGHT!

[JimSEA]

Law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation said Lindauer's alleged activities caused little if any damage to U.S. national security, although they had the potential to cause harm.

Lindauer is described by people who know her as an ardent foe of the U.S.-led war against Saddam's regime.

who was not charged with espionage

A law enforcement source said FBI agents first took notice of Lindauer during her visits to the Iraqi mission to the United Nations in New York before the war, when the mission was under heavy FBI surveillance.

"I'm an anti-war activist and I'm innocent," Lindauer said

We will hear this played as the harassment of an honest peacenik if naive, a victim of the Patriot Act and John Ashcroft. Count on it.

I did that once, too! I just wish there was a way to let them (the Iraqi mission) know that they were being flipped the bird by a Jew! LOL!
