F.B.I. Agent Ousted Over Her Handling Of a Chinese Spying Inquiry

Bet she sues.

[My Identity]

Mr. Mueller transferred Ms. Horan from her job as acting head of the bureau's national security division to an administrative support position.

She was demoted from top counterintelligence spy to secretary? HA HA HA! Too funny.

[Rodney King]

No doubt NOW and the others will sue claiming that she was dismissed because she is a woman and that other men have done equally bad things without being fired. Since all of the info is classified, the government will not be able to prove its case and the woman will get a settlement.

Ms. Horan and been "disenfranchised."

[archy]

Bet she sues.

Or leaks more of the details about the Islamic fundamentalists involved in the Oklahoma City Bombing....

[Fred Mertz]

Do we have any dope on Ms. Sheila Horan?

[FReethesheeples]

BUMP

Mr. Mueller, who was on the job less than two weeks when the Sept. 11 terror attacks occurred, has been preparing to announce a broader personnel shakeup and reorganization of the F.B.I.'s top managerial ranks. His actions in Ms. Horan's case are widely viewed in the bureau as reflecting his increasing confidence as head of the law enforcement agency.

Mr. Mueller has been demanding more accountability from top officials at the F.B.I. and has been under pressure from Attorney General John Ashcroft to strengthen the bureau's management.

About time

[Russ]

She was probably put in charge of the X-files.

[putupon]

so when are the clintons & reno going to be prosecuted for their involvment?

An employment lawyer would call it "constructive termination." Still, it is an unusually bold move for the FBi to make. If it is not a political firing, she must has screwed up pretty bad.

[onedoug]

"...suspicions that China tried to recruit a spy against the United States."

Having thoroughly compromised Obubba Been Clinton, would seem a hard act to follow.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...SHELIA HORAN = The Legacy of LOUIS FREEH...

[maestro]

??Maybe, she (Horan) will write a book about R.Hannsen AND A.Ames and their 'mutual' connections??

/Sarcasm

[Diddle E. Squat]

Was Sheila Whoring a Clinton-appointee, or rather were her promotions fast-tracked during the regime?

[japaneseghost]

... her name is familiar. Maybe I dreamt it?

Anyway, I have a feeling she's about to become a client of Judicial Watch.

Horan was a twenty year expert at the FBI on Chinese spying

Another possible explanation for her demotion is that Horan knew too much about transfers of US nuclear technology to China alleged by Sam Cohen (father of the neutron bomb)to have occurred under HW Bush. Win Ho Lee's wife worked for the CIA & FBI during the years that Win Ho spoke to Peter LEE and when the neutron bomb and US nuclear weapon design legacy codes were lost or transferred to the China.

While at FBI Horan certainly would also have known about the transfer of US missile defense (SDI) tech to the Chinese at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico during HW Bush tenure as VP and President. Army intelligence tried to get the FBI to do something about CHinese aquisiton of US missile defense and AWACS JSTARS radar technology and the FBI refused under HWBush.

GW Bush has reportedly revealed some operational details of the new US missile defense system to China and Horan would know about those revelations as well.

That, my friend, is the question of the day on this topic.
