Terrorists Among Us

This is an outrageous situation. If these seven spies are any indication, then our security agencies must be infiltrated by many more moles.

Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese national, infiltrated both the FBI and CIA — even though she lied on her application about being a U.S. citizen. Both agencies failed to catch the fraud in their security checks.
Prouty went on to access secret files about Hezbollah to tip off family members linked to the Lebanon-based terror group, something investigators failed to turn up in their original background check.
Washington pundits say the case raises new concerns about key security agencies' "vulnerability to infiltration" in the war on terror.
But this vulnerability has been known by the FBI since the Robert Hanssen espionage case exposed huge gaps in its security system. According to the Justice Department's inspector general, the bureau still hasn't plugged those holes.
What's more, the feds have known since 9/11 that terrorists and their sympathizers have been trying to spy on U.S. agencies.
During a 2002 Virginia raid, they seized an Arabic document outlining a plot to conduct espionage operations against the government, according to Paul Sperry, author of "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington."
