HezBo Illegal Alien Infiltrates CIA
File this under Enemy Within and mindless political correctness. How could the CIA of all organizations be taken in like this? It's bad enough that a terrorist mole got into the CIA, but to then allow a plea bargain instead of a full prosecution is outrageous. There must be radical changes in the way we are able to prosecute national security cases without having to plea bargain down cases against traitors and spies.

LaShish owner's sister-in-law infiltrated CIA, FBI, prosecutors say
Paul Egan / The Detroit News hat tip Rut
DETROIT -- An illegal alien with links to Hezbollah penetrated the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI, federal prosecutors in Detroit said today.
Nada Nadim Prouty, 37, of Vienna, Va., a sister-in-law of fugitive LaShish Restaurants owner Talal Chahine, pleaded guilty in federal court today to conspiracy to defraud the United States, unauthorized computer access, and naturalization fraud.
According to an information unsealed today, Lebanese-born Prouty gained U.S. citizenship in 1994 through a fraudulent marriage, joined the FBI's Washington Field Office as special agent in 1999 and joined the CIA in June, 2003.
She resigned her CIA post, described as "mid-level," last week, officials said.
Chahine, a fugitive believed to be living in Lebanon, was indicted for tax evasion in 2006 and accused by federal agents of supporting Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, also known as the "Party of God," is an Islamic militant group based in Lebanon that has been designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. government since 1997.
Hezbollah, in addition to attacks on Israel, claimed responsibility for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. embassy and Marine barracks in Lebanon, which killed 258 Americans.
The Shiite group has financial ties and other links with Iran. It has political and social welfare functions in addition to military roles.
