An ex-FBI & CIA agent with a brother-in-law linked to Hezbollah pleads guilty to database searches, raising questions about the security of top secret files in the war on terror.
The case raises questions about hiring practices and background checks by two of the nation’s most security-sensitive and secretive agencies… “It’s hard to imagine a greater threat than the situation where a foreign national uses fraud to attain citizenship and then, based on that fraud, insinuates herself into a sensitive position in the U.S. government.”
It seems she got somebody to marry her so she could become a citizen. The background investigation did not uncover this, nor did the polygraph examination that the US government places so much trust in.
Since this news broke it seems she held some very responsible positions and her brother, along with Prouty’s sister and others, was charged in 2006 by the U.S. attorney in Detroit with tax evasion in connection with a scheme to conceal more than $20 million in cash… and to route funds to persons in Lebanon with links to Hezbollah.” The sister is currently serving 18 months in a federal prison.
