And al Hanooti was one of the folks who Susan Lindhauer was in contact with. Susan Lindhauer was the former Democrat congressional staffer who was in the pay of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, who tried to deliver backdoor messages to the Bush Admin offering them corporate deals in exchange for lifting sanctions. Instead, the White House chief of staff turned her in...
JULY 30, 2003 : (SUSAN LINDHAUER HAS PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MUTHANNA AL-HANOOTI, PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHFIELD MICHINGAN GROUP 'FOCUS ON AMERICAN AND ARAB INTERESTS AND RELATIONS' aka FAAIR) To demonstrate her commitment to nonviolence, Lindauer also shared with me portions of the evidentiary material contained on a stack of compact disks turned over to her by the government. The evidence against her, which includes wiretapped conversations with friends, neighbors, foreign diplomats and fellow activists, is currently in the hands of her new court-appointed attorney, who was not representing Lindauer at the time I spoke to her. Among the documents Lindauer showed me was a transcript of a telephone conversation with Muthanna al-Hanooti, the president of Focus on American and Arab Interests and Relations, a nonprofit organization in Southfield, Mich., dated July 30, 2003, two days before the Arab-American activist made one of his frequent trips to Iraq. During the call, Lindauer praised al-Hanooti for being a ''man who believes in peace'' and exhorted him to ''stay with God -- just stay with God.'' As the conversation continued, al-Hanooti seemed to hover between impatience and boredom. ''Other people are doing bad things, and they may try to use you as cover for bad things,'' Lindauer said. ''So don't let them.'' ''It's a very delicate balance, as you know,'' al-Hanooti replied. ''But, ah, we'll do our best, you know. We'll do our best.'' ---------------Source: "Susan Lindauer's Mission to Baghdad," ["spy" story -- long, strange], by DAVID SAMUELS, New York Times Magazine, August 29, 2004 Posted on 08/29/2004 12:38:16 PM PDT by 68skylark

The “Progressive Caucus” is chaired by Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland. This vegetarian, anti-war candidate for the 2004 Democratic Presidential nomination proposes replacing the Department of Defense with a Department of Peace.
According to the rating of America’s premier liberal organization, Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), Kucinich in 2000 voted on the Left side of legislation 86 percent of the time, and in 2002 he did so 80 percent of the time.

"I scrubbed my hands with a toilet brush, but my face was burned so badly that three weeks later friends worried I might be badly scarred."

DECEMBER 4, 1998 : (SUSAN LINDHAUER FILES A FORMAL DEPOSITION DETAILING HER ALLEGED CONVERSATION WITH CIA OPERATIVE DR. RICHARD FUISZ IN THE LOCKERBIE / PAN AM 103 CASE) On Dec. 4, 1998, Lindauer, who has worked for four Democratic lawmakers, filed a formal deposition that detailed her conversation with Dr. Richard Fuisz, described by media as a multi-millionaire businessman and pharmaceutical researcher who was the CIA's main operative active in Damascus, Syria, in the 1980s. Fuisz had business interests in Damascus.
The operative allegedly told Lindauer, then a congressional staffer, that he had personal knowledge that the perpetrators of the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, were based in Syria and that no Libyans were involved in any part of the attack.
The Clinton administration soon placed a gag order on Fuisz to prevent him from publicly discussing the issue.
Lindauer's deposition was submitted to the court in which two Libyan suspects were on trial and to U.N. officials, who attempted to persuade the Clinton administration to lift the gag order on Fuisz.
In the deposition, Lindauer told the court she had "never accepted any financial compensation from any of the individuals or governments involved in this case." Her reason for coming forward, she said, was a "sense of obligation to the cause of international peace and security."
,b>Lindauer said she had been invited to meet Fuisz by a mutual acquaintance because of her position as press secretary to former Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and because of her "known longstanding interest in the Middle East." Said Lindauer, "Wyden is now a United States senator, and I have continued my career in TV journalism and public affairs."
In the deposition, Lindauer stated, "At one point, I said to [Fuisz ], 'Oh yeah, everybody knows Syria did it, and the U.S. repaid them for supporting us during the Iraqi war by shifting the blame to Libya.'"
She describres Fuisz's response, including this statement: "Susan, if the (United States) government would let me, I could identify the men behind this attack today. I could do it right now. You want a police lineup? I could go into any crowded restaurant of 200 people and pick out these men."
Lindauer responded, "For God's sakes tell me, and I'll get my boss to protect you."
Fuisz then allegedly became angry: "No, no. It's so crazy. I'm not even allowed to tell you, and you're a congressional staffer."
Lindauer continued, "Then he repeated his story about the Terex lawsuit against both him and New York Times reporter Seymour Hirsch (the famous Pulitzer Prize winner), whose only crime was reporting Dr. Fuisz's testimony at the congressional hearing."
Lindauer's deposition ended with, "For shame on all of you!"
She published her email address, slndau@aol.com, along with the deposition so "journalists, researchers and others interested in learning more about the issue" could contact her.
The deposition created worldwide reaction, including in Britain where Sir Teddy Taylor, a member of Parliament, said, "Clearly such arguments which were made to a congressional aide in the U.S.A. called Susan Lindauer should have been considered by the police, by the foreign offices and the court authorities." - "Alleged spy for Iraq gave Lockerbie deposition; Former Democrat congressional aide was at center of CIA controversy," By Sherrie Gossett, WorldNetDaily.com, Friday, March 12, 2004
