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.

She claims she is proud of all her "achievements."

Well you can't say he got his feet very wet.

[b4its2late]

Oh. No harm, no foul.

[pushforbush]

For the media impaired in our cubicles---what is Rush saying? What is she saying on Fox?

[cupcakes]

NO argument there! I have an "aunt" who became an aunt after attending college at Univ. of Maryland and living the brunt of those years in Takoma Park. "She" now works for a food co-op that is frequented by the stinkiest, nastiest, most off-balance people I have ever seen and I was into punk rock as a teen so that's saying a lot;-)

I wouldn't be surprised if she was also working for Libya given her lobbying efforts on their behalf re: Lockerbie.

Please update what Rush says for the radio deprived, folks.

Susan was screeching while being led away. Saying she had tried to fight terrorism better, was proud of that, would continue to be proud. Yelling for the microphones.

I daresay the prosecution has a different outlook.

So far the media hasn't mentioned the Mosely-Braun connection at all.

Very interesting.

Deomocratic Susans don't sing...sorry.

Yep they'd rather parade around in the orange jumpsuit, protecting their willys, than sing.

Something tells me this would have been Rachel Corrie in 20 years if she hadn't made herself a human target in front of a bulldozer.

"For the media impaired in our cubicles---what is Rush saying?"

Rush Limbaugh just read from some of the articles and then went Whoooaa Waaaa! (something like that) and then said lets move on to something lighter.

[No Blue States]

From your link:

"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."

yes, we believe you..

[SpookBrat]

What do you all think?

I think it's most unfortunate we don't hang spies any more. They should be held accountable for the deaths of which they are responsible. Good people have been killed and are no longer with their families.

Whether anyone was killed or not is beside the point. Treason is an unforgivable crime and those proven guilty should die. If allowed, I would be more than willing to pull the trigger myself.

[Miss Marple]

Well, it's a good thing I can come here and know what in the heck was going on!

If you just saw her clip, you would think she was being arrested for being against the war!!!

I wonder when she worked for Fox, and for how long? I especially wonder if she got herself into Iraq working for Fox News. I bet Ailes is looking to see who her contacts and buddies were while working for Fox. I would.

Susan Lindauer's Work Record
The woman charged with spying for the Iraqi Intelligence service spent the 1990s working on Capitol Hill.

ONE SUSAN LINDAUER was arrested today on charges that she acted as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence service, and accepted $10,000 for the information she gathered. See the full story here.

Lindauer is identified as a "Tacoma, MD woman" in news accounts, which allege that she made multiple visits from October 1999 through March 2002 to the Iraqi Mission to the United Nations in New York. She also traveled to Baghdad in February and March of 2002.

As of April 2002, a Susan Lindauer was in the employ of Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Lindauer previously worked in the press offices of Democrats Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon (from approximately May 1993 to January 1994), Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon (starting in January 1994), and Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois (from January 1996 to September 1996).

Lindauer also gave a deposition in the investigation of the 1998 Lockerbie airline terror bombing.

Moseley Braun says that she "doesn't remember" Lindauer. But a spokesman for one of the congressmen confirmed that it was "extremely likely" that the woman in question was a former congressional aide and press secretary for the four Democratic congressmen.

"She claims she is proud of all her "achievements."

Drug her and get all the information on fellow demonrats and anyone else in government innvolved in this treason. Charge them with treason and murder for the deaths of soldiers in Iraq due to the resistance groups they supported and then kill them all. End of story.
