I don't know if this was posted but....

How is it this woman landed a job with the FBI and CIA?

In her signed plea agreement, Prouty admitted to accessing FBI computer files on Hezbollah first in 2000 and again in 2003, when she accessed case files into a top-secret national security investigation into the militant group that was being conducted by the FBI.

“This case highlights the importance of conducting stringent and thorough background investigations,”

Oh, ya think?

We have an absolutely incompetent bunch running this nation. Pathetic.

“It is a sad day when one of our public servants breaches our security and trust,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein.

No. It is a sad day when an enemy spy is hired by the incompetent and often traitorous people who run our intelligence agencies.

She can only be blamed for following her true beliefs: serving Islamic jihad against the infidels. She deserves the death penalty for spying against us in a time of war, and those who were responsible for hiring her--an obvious spy--deserve long terms in prison for malfeasance of duty.

Said huh?

20 Million sent to terrorists overseas and gets a job with the CIA?

Pathetic seems almost like an understatement.

Instead she faces a maximum sentence of what? 15 years!

Very true unless their hope was to get Islamic persons on our side and use them against the terrorists. Turns out she was a spy...it happened in WWII too.

Oh no, it has been worse. Recently in fact. MUCH worse.

Remember the Clinton administration's biiiig anouncment that all the White House staff had been "drug tested?"

It was a written test.

“It is a sad day when one of our public servants breaches our security and trust,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein. “This defendant engaged in a pattern of deceit to secure U.S. citizenship, to gain employment in the intelligence community, and to obtain and exploit her access to sensitive counterterrorism intelligence. It is fitting that she now stands to lose both her citizenship and her liberty.”

"Blah, friggin blah blah blah."

How about, "Nada Nadim Prouty is a spy and she should be executed."?
These "Justice Department" types are such wimps. But then, I guess that starts at the top.

I had to laugh when I read that part, no wonder we don't have reliable intelligence on Iran's nuclear program with these people running the show.

True enough but what kind of a background check did they do? seems to me a real rotten one.

I think there were substantially worse crimes committed by this woman or she wouldn’t have pled to these charges quite so readily.

The whole thing stinks of plea bargain, I wonder how much valuable info she gave up?

Probably not much.

Yes, there you are correct! It seems pretty obvious that they were unable to see the fradulent nature of all that she did...total ineptitude! My only hope is that they’ve been able to get some info from her

As am I, the scary part is these people are so incompetent how many others have infiltrated the intelligence community?

This one didn't seem too sharp, what about those that are?

Notice Ms. Prouty wasn't charged with espionage.

Unfortunately, while Congress dithers they haven't brougt the laws up to date. I'm told the law says you have to be spying at the behest...or on behalf of...a "state" and that "non-state" organizations like hezbollah don't count. If anyone can verify this please do.

In the meantime, don't fret, our Senate Majority Leader wants to do cartwheels down the senate chamber aisle.

Absolutely. Back in the days when America was run by real men (the '50s and earlier) we executed spies. Nowadays we get cowardly puss like this:

“It is a sad day when one of our public servants breaches our security and trust,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein. “This defendant engaged in a pattern of deceit to secure U.S. citizenship, to gain employment in the intelligence community, and to obtain and exploit her access to sensitive counterterrorism intelligence.

And oh by the way, the charges and rhetoric would have been significantly ratcheted up if this spy was a man.

This woman was hired by the Clinton administration. GW Bush should have cleaned out this nest of vipers in Feb. 2001.
Employment at FBI and CIA

In April 1999, through a series of false representations and use of her fraudulently procured proof of U.S. citizenship, Prouty, then known as “Nada Nadim Alley,” obtained employment as a special agent of the FBI. It was a prerequisite to FBI employment that she be a U.S. citizen. As a special agent with the FBI, Prouty was granted a security clearance and assigned to the FBI’s Washington Field Office to work on an extraterritorial squad investigating crimes against U.S. persons overseas. During her tenure with the FBI, Prouty was not assigned to work on investigations involving the international terrorist group Hizballah.

Does anyone remember the Clinton administration naturalizing millions before the 1996 election? In their effort to sign up as many new democrat(ick) voters as possible, they pushed through many without thoroughly investigating their background.
