Going Easy on Espionage

There has got to be a lot more to this than is getting out. Aside from the obvious embarrassment to the FBI and CIA, Prouty must have done much more damage that admitted to by the agencies. She must have something on them in order to get such a quick trial and only a 6-12 month sentence. Hopefully her citizenship will be stripped from her and she will be deported straight from her jail cell.

Despite using a sham marriage to fraudulently obtain citizenship and having multiple personal connections to a suspected Hezbollah financier, Nada Nadim Prouty, a 37-year-old illegal alien from Lebanon, rose quickly through the FBI, then the CIA.

While at the FBI, Prouty conducted unauthorized searches to see what law enforcement had on her, her sister (who is now in jail for tax evasion) and her sister's husband, a suspected Hezbollah financier, who is now on the lam. From her plea agreement earlier this month, where she pleaded guilty to three counts, we also know that Prouty illegally accessed top-secret FBI information about an investigation into Hezbollah.

So why are the Feds downplaying the case? And why is much of the mainstream media playing along? Most important, why is she going to do less jail time than many petty thieves?

Given the major lapses exposed by this embarrassing episode, the FBI and CIA understandably want the story to go away. With the mainstream media, it appears to be part of a much larger problem, wherein the threat of domestic Islamist terrorism is largely ignored.

Here's the backstory: Prouty came to America in 1989 on a student visa. After it expired the next year, she schemed to stay in the country by marrying a U.S. citizen. The two never lived together and did not consummate the marriage. She received her citizenship in 1994, and divorced her paper husband in 1995.

When the FBI went looking for more Arabic speakers, Prouty was snapped up in 1999. But this is where the stunning series of security breaches begins.
