NEW YORK -- An American citizen was arrested Thursday on charges she acted as an Iraqi spy, prosecutors said.

Susan Lindauer, 41, was arrested in her hometown of Takoma Park, Md., and was to appear in court later in the day in Baltimore, authorities in New York said.

Dr. Richard Fuisz, a major CIA operative in Syria during the 1980s, met with a congressional staffer by the name of Susan Lindauer in 1994 and told her that that the perpetrators of the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland were based in Syria [see "The Lockerbie Bombing Trial: Is Libya Being Framed?" Middle East Intelligence Bulletin, June 2000]. One month after their meeting, the Clinton administration, which holds Libya responsible for the bombing, placed a gag order on Dr. Fuisz to prevent him from publicly discussing the issue. While Dr. Fuisz is still unable to comment on this matter because of the gag order, MEIB has obtained a copy of a formal deposition filed by Lindauer in 1998 in which she recounts this conversation in detail. This deposition (see below) has been submitted to the court in which two Libyan suspects are currently on trial and to U.N. officials, who have attempted to persuade the Clinton administration to lift the gag order on Dr. Fuisz.

If it's the woman above, there's a lot of explaining to do.

If this is the same Susan Lindauer, she has a history of ME interest/association:

Last month, MEIB reported that Dr. Richard Fuisz, a major CIA operative in Syria during the 1980s, met with a congressional staffer by the name of Susan Lindauer in 1994 and told her that that the perpetrators of the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland were based in Syria [see "The Lockerbie Bombing Trial: Is Libya Being Framed?"

"Susan Lindauer, spokeswoman for Moseley-Braun

Wow, this could be big. Hey Rush, Hannity, Savage et al., lookey here!

[SierraWasp]

"Dan Rather is a woman??!!"

What's the frequently, Kenneth?

[hellinahandcart]

Looky!

[American_Centurion]

Excellent find!

When I first read the article, I was wondering what her job was. You see just anyone can't be charged with spying, you have to have access to something sensitive.

Now we can see why her occupation and employer wasn't listed. Employed by a freaking RAT!

Let's wait and see if anyone mentions her occupation. It is intrinsically relevant to the charges. Americans have a right to know!

[Quilla]

Great find. And to think, Moseley-Braun is vying for Kerry's veep spot. Please pick her John.

This could be evidence of dem activists with staffer connections aiding and abetting the enemy during time of war!

If so, then all americans should have a deep, deep concern about what's taking place in the liberal wing of our nation's government.

We have troops on the battlefield...my son included....and this is extremely serious!

Text of Deposition


My name is Susan Lindauer. I reside in Silver Spring, Maryland, one of the suburbs outside the District of Columbia in the United States of America. At the time these events took place, I was living inside the District of Columbia, at 1002 C Street NE on Capitol Hill.

In offering this deposition, I hereby inform the court and all interested parties at the United Nations that I have never accepted any financial compensation from any of the individuals, or governments involved in this case, in any form of cash or non-cash payment. Furthermore, I have never solicited nor received promise of future payments in exchange for this testimony. My reasons for coming forward reflect my own deepest personal values, and my sense of obligation to the cause of international peace and security. I remain deeply persuaded that justice must never be confused with convenience or political scapegoating, and that the issues of this case, including the prosecution of terrorist activities and the imposition of sanctions that seek to isolate an entire Arabic population, are too important in this contemporary age for a lie to stand unchallenged. And so let it be understood by the court: I make these statements of my own free will, out of respect to my own conscience and sense of obligation as a world citizen.

This deposition pertains ...

So is this what the lying liberal hunters of President Bush's secret INTEL have been demanding. Rocky's MEMO!


Wonder what else President Bush has up his sleeves that really has these lying liberals scared?

Kerry’s first Presidential Pardon?

Kerry’s first Presidential Pardon?

Well, since he'd have to win, it's academic, isn't it?

[NativeNewYorker]

Three West Coast Democrats have tapped media veterans to fill Press Secretary slots in their Capitol Hill offices, Roll Call reported. Oregon's Peter DeFazio chose Susan Lindauer, a reporter for U.S. News & World Report in 1990-91....

See #28: This is terrible news to America if this is the same woman who is linked elsewhere on this page and the spying charge is true. This woman has congressional staffer connections.

We need to mourn for our nation that politicians would participate with those who target our own soldiers.

This isn't shocking; it's a life-changing reorganization of how one must think about political opponents within our own government.

THIS IS A BIG FREEEKIN DEAL PINGEROONEY!!! Hope Rush, Hannity, and Fox News are reading this. (BAT SIGNAL ON FULL POWER...)

[SierraWasp]

I don't have any idea! I just saw a tiny little blurb on http://BigCharts.MarketWatch.com in the little window for "Headlines" that AP had reported this.

I was only interested in how the market "correction" was gonna go and the other "Headline" about 6000 less jobless claims, when I spotted this almost burried bit of news on a CBS financial website!!!
