I'M A BIT NERVOUS NOW

March 11, 2004

Whew! This has pulp novel written all over it, if true. Someone "charged with conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Iraqi Intelligence Service and with engaging in prohibited financial transactions with the Iraqi government," Susan Lindauer, was a former Seattle-area journalist, and Democratic congressional aide. Her father ran for Alaska Gov. and later pleaded no contest to certain charges described in this story.

So, anyway, charges are made. Let's see how this one actually shakes out. If two-thirds of what you read in the link above turns out to be true......yikes!

That would mean there are snakes among us who are just plain vanilla, uber-liberal Democrats! (Yes, in Seattle, that term makes sense, unfortunately).

Perhaps just one more reason to OK 4MORE YEARS of Bush-Cheney-Ashcroft! (Prayers to you, John!).

Here are few key grafs from the KOMO (Seattle) television and radio online report linked to above:

'I'm an anti-war activist and I'm innocent,' Lindauer told WBAL-TV outside the Baltimore FBI office. 'I did more to stop terrorism in this country than anybody else. I have done good things for this country. I worked to get weapons inspectors back to Iraq when everyone else said it was impossible.'

She was charged with conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Iraqi Intelligence Service and with engaging in prohibited financial transactions with the Iraqi government. The indictment makes no mention of her congressional staff work. She was not directly charged with espionage.

She could get up to 10 years in prison on the most serious charge.

Wow! That really is scary. If the charges are true, she obviously crossed over the line from war-protester to aiding and abetting the enemy. Kind of makes me wonder how many others have crossed that line!

Guess what headline the Seattle PI chose for this story? "Accused spy is cousin of Bush staffer" That's right, it's all Bush's fault.
