NEW YORK (AP) - A second son of a former Iraqi diplomat was charged Friday with providing information to Iraqi agents about Iraqi dissidents living in the United States, prosecutors said.

Wisam Noman Al-Anbuge, 24, pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. He appeared before Judge Michael Mukasey along with his brother, Raed Rokan Al-Anbuge, who was arrested earlier this year on the same charge.

Both men are sons of Rokan Al-Anbuge, Iraq's former liaison with United Nations weapons inspectors.

Was Carol Mosley Braun the only one to vote against the war, or am I mistaken?

[AmericanInTokyo]

"ESPIONAGE AGENT FOR ENEMY OF AMERICA, IN THE EMPLOY OF DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (MOSELEY-BRAUN)".... is more like it.

I suggest we change the title to reflect that this traitorous scumbag is a former spokeswoman for the less than honorable Carol Moseley Braun

On Jan. 8, 2003, prosecutors said, Lindauer tried to influence U.S. foreign policy by delivering to the home of a U.S. government official a letter in which she conveyed her access to and contacts with members of Saddam's regime. The official was not identified in the indictment.

Uh oh.....

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, anytime a PC rat is caught being a traitor, the Rats will spin it as another example of the evil Patriot Act, the evil Ashcroft and of course the evil Bush.

So it is up to us to note that there is no difference between a traitor and a Rat. The Rat just has not been exposed yet.

[RandallFlagg]

Is anyone up to the task of looking on "The List" to see if Susan Lindauer or anyone affiliated with her took some of Saddam's bribes?

Sorry for the big fonts, but this is HUGH!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Who remembers Lattimore, Hiss, the Rosenbergs, Moss...?

[Spunky]

Read this posting here at #50. It sounds like she is tied to Carol Moseley-Braun. Also there is another thread going that said she had been a Congressionl Aid to Carol.

American Citizen Charged With Spying
 

Mar 11, 10:54 AM (ET)

By LARRY NEUMEISTER

NEW YORK (AP) - An American citizen was arrested Thursday on charges she acted as an Iraqi spy before and after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, accepting $10,000 for her work, prosecutors said Thursday.

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 was accused of conspiring to act as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence Service and with engaging in prohibited financial transactions involving the government of Iraq under dictator Saddam Hussein.

According to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Lindauer made multiple visits from October 1999 through March 2002 to the Iraqi Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan.

There, she met with several members of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, the foreign intelligence arm of the government of Iraq that allegedly has played a role in terrorist operations, including an attempted assassination of former President George H.W. Bush, the indictment alleged.

The government said she accepted payments from the Iraqis for her services and expenses amounting to a total of $10,000, including $5,000 she received during a trip to Baghdad in February and March 2002, where she met with Iraqi intelligence officers.

Her acceptance of the money and her willingness to bring it home from Iraq violated a law prohibiting transactions with a government that sponsors international terrorism, the government said. The indictment did not specify a motive.

The charges against Lindauer were included in an expanded indictment in the case against Raed Rokan Al-Anbuge, 28, and Wisam Noman Al-Anbuke, the sons of Iraq's former liaison with United Nations weapons inspectors.

The brothers were charged last year with acting as Iraqi government agents and conspiring to do so, prosecutors said. The indictment said Lindauer conspired with the brothers.

On Jan. 8, 2003, prosecutors said, Lindauer tried to influence U.S. foreign policy by delivering to the home of a U.S. government official a letter in which she conveyed her access to and contacts with members of Saddam's regime. The official was not identified in the indictment.

The United States invaded Iraq in March of last year, and the government fell the following month.

The indictment said she met on two occasions in Baltimore in June and July with an undercover FBI agent who posed as a Libyan intelligence representative who was seeking to support resistance groups in postwar Iraq. It said she discussed the need for plans and foreign resources to support these groups.

According to the indictment, she continued to correspond with the undercover agent until last month and followed the agent's instructions to leave packages on two occasions in August in "dead drop" operations.

Lindauer, who has not yet been assigned a defense lawyer, faces up to 10 years in prison on the most serious charge and five years on the lesser charge if she is convicted, prosecutors said.

If CNN had not taken money from the $oddomites, they were in bed with them to get "exclusive news" from Iraq.

Of course the "exclusive news" was molded, shaped and controlled by the Soddomites.

[floriduh voter]

Yes, I thought at that time in 2002, only UN inspectors were coming and going from Iraq. It appears she had access and SECURITY CLEARANCE.

Let's hear democrats say they "didn't know she was a spy." Every time democrats, especially KERRY makes grave errors in judgment because "they've been deceived", they are proving they'll BELIEVE ANYBODY and sell us out.

(all the while we are portrayed STEREOTYPICALLY as crooks and liars per KERRY).
