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.

You're probably right. I still agree with you, however, that she is probably at the lower end of the food chain. (I happened to use just about the same expression as you did before I read your post.).

They are after bigger fish that Saddamite Susie.

This is interesting.

The "Information Superstation", on channel 28, is a new TV channel that will broadcast unfiltered, unedited coverage of the White House and federal agencies all over the Washington area. It's licensed for low-powered transmission, so it will be limited the area within and around the Beltway. Station spokeswoman, Susan Lindauer, said, "There are approximately 38,000 top executives in the federal government that we will be reaching, and, there are over 2,200 associations and nonprofit groups in town. These will be a powerful audience for us in the beginning." Dennis Dunbar, the station's owner, is hoping to finance the station through advertisers that will be drawn to the station as an inexpensive way to reach policy makers. So far, Channel 28 has received support from the White House and a number of federal agencies, according to Lindauer.

From another thread AP is reporting . Ex-Congressional Aide (DEMOCRAT)Charged With Spying (worked for Carol Mosely Braun) AP ^ | 5/10/04 | AP

NEW YORK - A former journalist and ex-congressional press secretary was arrested Thursday on charges she acted as an Iraqi spy before and after the U.S. invasion of Iraq (news - web sites), 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.

Lindauer worked at Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before beginning her career as a political publicist. She worked for then U.S. Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., before joining the office of former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun as press secretary in 1996.

Chris Fitzgerald, a spokesman for Wyden, now a senator, said the office had heard Thursday of Lindauer's arrest and expected to issue a statement later in the day.

"She worked for us a short period of time," he said.

Moseley-Braun's current spokesperson, Loretta Kane, said the former senator does not remember Lindauer.

She doesn't remember her press secretary?

Think the dominos will start to fall now? I really hope so. Maybe HS should ground ALL flights today though:')

Hillaryitis--absence of memory of specific events and persons.

Hold your nose and lets us know if they cover this story, spike it or bury it this weekend in section d to z.

[Mark Felton]

She has an e-mail address

I wrote her:

"Judas! May Jesus Christ Save your soul!"

"You know that you hate yourself more than your country. Your darkest hours are yet to come as the evil darkness on your soul is exposed to the light."

"As you witness the ugliness in your heart take comfort that those whom you hate will love you."

I hope Susan sings like a canary and brings down everyone in the Rat party.

"Uh oh" is right. We could use a few copies of that Analysts Notebook just to keep track of what's on this thread alone. . . . .

[clamboat]

I just wish they would research this stuff and stop waiting for someone to spoon feed them the DATA that they get paid for trumpeting.

Maybe they are researching, which is why they are not linking this woman to CMB or anyone else. Unlike you or me or FR, Fox actually has deep pockets and could be sued for a lot of money if they get it wrong. They are being prudent. The fact that the networks haven't explciitly linked this woman to CMB yet probably means that it is not the same person.

Enemies foreign and domestic!

Thansk for the ping, kayak.

[Just mythoughts]

Could be.

[William McKinley]

Yes, it has now been confirmed that she is one and the same.

[Miss Marple]

AP has confirmed it. The article was posted right above your response.
