Saddam Spy Suspect Worked for House and Senate Democrats
Talk about a triathlon: The Maryland woman charged today with spying
for Saddam Hussein's dictatorship
(http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/3/11/102011.shtml) has
also worked for congressional Democrats and the media establishment.
Susan Lindauer, scheduled to appear in court later today in Baltimore,
launched her career as a political publicist. She worked for Sen. Ron
Wyden, D-Ore., when he was a U.S. congressman, and in 1996 shifted to
one-term former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois, best known
lately for her doomed-from-the-start presidential campaign.
She also was employed by Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Associated Press reported.
Wyden's handler Chris Fitzgerald said the office had heard of
Lindauer's arrest and expected to issue a statement later today.
"She worked for us a short period of time," he said.
Braun's mouthpiece Loretta Kane insisted that the former senator did
not remember Lindauer.
'Liberal Views' and 'Fantasy World'
"More than a half dozen FBI agents could be seen searching Lindauer's
residence in Takoma Park, a city known for its liberal views," AP
reported.
One neighbor, Joao Luiz Vieire de Castro, described Lindauer as "a
regular American who walks her dog in the mornings and the afternoon."
"It's a big surprise. Who would think that it's [espionage] in your
neighborhood?" said Dean Paris, 45, who sometimes greeted Lindauer on
the street.
But Malvina Lacey, who lives next door to Lindauer, said, "She lives
in a fantasy world."
Libyan Connection and 'Acid' in Her Car
The Washington Post reported today that, according to the indictment,
Lindauer also met last year "with an undercover FBI agent who was
posing as a representative of the Libyan intelligence service and was
seeking to support resistance groups fighting U.S. forces in post-war
Iraq. It said Lindauer discussed with the agent 'the need for plans
and foreign resources to support these groups operating within Iraq.'"
While working for Rep. Wyden, she became embroiled in the debate over
who carried out the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie,
Scotland, in December 1988. Under pressure from the Bush
administration, Libya's dictatorship has finally admitted its guilt.
The December 1998 issue of the online Middle East Intelligence
Bulletin quoted Lindauer as claiming saying that that a former CIA
agent had told her that the bombers were Syrian and that she had
suffered because of her advocacy in the Lockerbie case.
"Someone put acid on the steering wheel of my car on a day I was
supposed to drive to [New York City] for a meeting at the Libya
House," the report quoted Lindauer as saying.
"I scrubbed my hands with a toilet brush, but my face was burned so
badly that 3 weeks later friends worried I might be badly scarred.
Also, my house was bugged with listening devices and cameras - little
red laser lights in the shower vent. And I survived several
assassination attempts."
CNN Doesn't Want You to Know
We checked out a tip sent by one reader and found that as of 1:50 p.m.
EST, the story on CNN's Web site had still failed to inform readers of
Lindauer's ties to Democrats and Big Media.
Fox News Channel's Web site, of course, had the updated news.
'Sadism' Hussein
MSNBC's site had the update, attributed to AP, but included this
curious paragraph: "She was accused of conspiring to act as a spy for
the Iraqi Intelligence Service and of engaging in prohibited financial
transactions involving the government of Iraq under President Sadism
Hussein."
That's odd. Our AP story called the toppled tyrant "Saddam"
throughout.
