NEWARK, New Jersey (Reuters) - A former White House official who took top secret documents from U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's office and gave them to opposition figures in the Philippines was sentenced on Wednesday to 10 years in prison.

Philippine-born Leandro Aragoncillo, a U.S. citizen and former Marine, pleaded guilty last year to taking the documents that included details on threats against U.S. government interests and military personnel in the Philippines.

Aragoncillo worked on the security detail assigned to the vice president from 1999 to 2002, where he held a top security clearance. He later took a job as an intelligence analyst with the FBI in New Jersey.

Thanks for that post/photo.
The lead article (on another thread) on this story at least had
the good graces to mention the traitor worked for Gore and Cheney.

Headline: “Ex-Cheney aide charged. Retired GS-5 government clerk worked for feds from 1960 to Jan. 21, 2001.”
