[...] Spies at headquarters FBI Agent stands “accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.” If you weren’t cynical about the FBI and CIA before you certainly will be now. Read this account of an appalling breach. The most appalling part however if that they allowed this breach to continue because of, evidently, sensitivity issues (read multicultural). The case reveals why no follower of the Islam religion should be hired for a sensitive government position. Read about this story here at Debbie Schlussel. There are also related links at Michelle Malkin and Hot Air. [...]

Thank god the “the decider” is keeping us safe… this woman needs to end up at Gitmo. Can you say “enemy combatant”? Want to know who she told what to? “here hold this bucket for a second”…
Between the crazy boarder here in TX, that s&!tbag blogger Kahn in carolina and now this… it may not be bad idea to stock up on some ammo. The government is at best asleep at the wheel and at best paralized by political posturing.

Yep – feels right to just get ‘er done.

Why is Prouty not being charged with treason? From the DOJ press release:

“This case highlights the importance of conducting stringent and thorough background investigations,” said U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy. “It’s hard to imagine a greater threat than the situation where a foreign national uses fraud to attain citizenship and then, based on that fraud insinuates herself into a sensitive position in the U.S. government.

Well – I guess none of us can imagine, then, a treason charge that would include the death penalty… Gentlemen, prepare to defend YOURSELVES… and your families… since our government won’t!

I was interviewed for a friend’s security clearance once. I have never had a conversations with more leading questions in my life. It’s not fair to extrapolate based on only one experience, but I’m…jaded about the effectiveness of background checks. Plus now we hear that less than half the FBI has internet access? I’m not enthusiastic about our chances in the homeland defense department.

The only possible good news about this would be if they hired her knowing she is a plant and then fed her false information to disseminate. We can only hope that they weren’t just more worried about offending someone than they were about protecting the nation.

I have adopted a standard response for when I read stories like this. The next day I go out and buy at least one box of practice ammo.

I think the question needs to be asked. Did the FBI / CIA decide to just ignore her illegal status or were they so incompetent that they never checked? Neither is a good option but I’d like to know if they were just criminal or criminally stupid.

So after serving her 6-12 month sentence, she’ll be left to roam around the United States, presumably tailed by the agencies she once worked for.

Kaptain–

One of the articles said she had an analyst position. She wasn’t a source. She got to see the information from the covert sources who agreed to put their lives on the line and talk to the CIA and FBI.

The damage of something like this is incalculable. If you live in Lebanon or Jordan or Syria and someone from American intel community wants to talk to you, you have to ask yourself if someone like Nada Prouty is going to be reading your file and telling Hezbollah what you said.

She needs to swing.

This isn’t infiltration, this is ‘tolerance’. I don’t know why anyone is surprised. . . we’ve been giving the Taliban all the information we have about the WOT in Afghanistan and Pakistan through our ‘friendship’ with the ISI (Pakistani intelligence group).

Hey it’s the American way to call our enemies our friends these days. Look to Jimmy Carter the Nobel Prize winner as the shining example.

Our intelligence agency and the state department need their heads examined because they are getting beaten handily by banana republics.
