It reminds me of that great quote by Cicero about the danger of traitors within, do you have that one?

To: Travis McGee
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly against the city.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the heart's of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague"

Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 BC

Maybe she is supposed to replace Mrs. Montes...the Cuban spy arrested after 9/11/01.

Anyway, I have yet to find much mentiion of her tenure at DoD. Other than nailing an 'adulturer,' I know she didn't do much to cut waste or fraud. I wonder why Graham didn't hire her to investigate Clinton? Seems to be more up her alley.

I'm curious about the connection to technology transfers- anyone have any other links relating to that?
