it is more than fair to look into who her government contacts were, and draw the appropriate inferences

My bet is there are a lot of Democrats, both Congresscritters and staffers, who are sweating hard and will be operating the shredders far into the night.

Is it possible this entire "Kerry flap" is merely another purposeful diversion from what is really going on, sort of a pre-emptive strike on this story?

Clinton did this sort of thing all the time!

Maybe we got some stuff on her (and others?) from Qadaffi?

There you go! Stuff galore.

You can be really scary at times. Your remark below has been rolling around inside my old gray head since this broke and why would Kerry do all what he said in the past few weeks:

"Is it possible this entire "Kerry flap" is merely another purposeful diversion from what is really going on, sort of a pre-emptive strike on this story? "

"Clinton did this sort of thing all the time!"

On your post for COLOMBE FOUNDATION, did you happen to notice the $10,000 to the Sept 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrow.

Hmmmmmmm

Figures that she worked for Demoncrats.

[nmh]

But of course ... a horrifi misunderstanding ... bet she works for Kerry to or would like to. I'm sure Kerry would like to see Bush assinated.

[BlessedByLiberty]

zoe Lofgren's (D-CA) Office issued a press release that Lofgren didn't think this woman had any access to sensitive information. Lofgren will cooperate in the investigation.

Wonder if Kerry went up to the hill today to discuss shredding with DasHole and Pelosi?

ONE SUSAN LINDAUER was arrested today on charges that she acted as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence service, and accepted $10,000 for the information she gathered. See the full story here.

Lindauer is identified as a "Takoma Park, MD woman" in news accounts, which allege that she made multiple visits from October 1999 through March 2002 to the Iraqi Mission to the United Nations in New York. She also traveled to Baghdad in February and March of 2002.

As of April 2002, a Susan Lindauer was in the employ of Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Lindauer previously worked in the press offices of Democrats Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon (from approximately May 1993 to January 1994), Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon (starting in January 1994), and Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois (from January 1996 to September 1996).

Lindauer also gave a deposition in the investigation of the 1998 Lockerbie airline terror bombing.

Moseley Braun says that she "doesn't remember" Lindauer. But a spokesman for one of the congressmen confirmed that it was "extremely likely" that the woman in question was a former congressional aide and press secretary for the four Democratic congressmen.

Nah, impossible. Couldn't happen. Never in a million years. Not a chance. No way, Jose.

[ravingnutter]

That bumper sticker has a website to a lefty group.

Check out the news releases on there...the spy story is there, LOL!

[Cindy]

Thank you Ernest.
It's been a busy day today --- and still no coffee yet.

[XHogPilot]

The real news here is not that she worked for Mosley Braun. This spy worked for people who are still sitting in Congress! Most recently, U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and less recently; U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR).
Braun is small potatoes compared to these three who still hold their respective seats.

Mosely-Braun couldn't remember Lindauer per abc radio news this afternoon. The other guy distanced himself from Lindauer too, said she left his employ in 1995. BUT, SHE'S STILL A DEMRAT. She was on tv today and instead of being quiet, she yelled at the media "I am innocent. I am an anti-war activist. I helped more than you know..." (helped herself to $10,000 and WHAT ELSE?) She's a dumb blonde, forgive me blondes but in this case, the term fits.

[floriduh voter]

Wouldn't it be great if there was a real photo (not photoshop) photo of this ditzy chick with Kerry or any of the Veep hopefuls? Kerry has been so anti-war and if she claims to be anti-war and she's been in the press, I bet their paths crossed somewhere.

AQ letter contents released today stated they are 90% ready for another super attack on the U.S.
