Update on the "Iraqi spy" case
Eugene Volokh: She may well have committed various crimes, and being a covert agent of the Iraqi government is hardly good behavior in my book. But is there really any charge that she gave the Iraqis secrets, or even that she had any secrets to give them?
Glenn Reynolds: I think this is media sloppiness. If you read the indictment, you'll see that she's charged with being an "unregistered foreign agent," among other things. I think that reporters read "agent" as "intelligence agent," meaning "spy." But there are all sorts of ways to be a foreign agent without being a spy.
But neither Reynolds or Volokh is agreeing with this:
SUSAN LINDAUER: ‘I did more to stop terrorism in this country than anybody else. I have done good things for this country.’
Malvina Lacey, Lindauer's next-door neighbor: “She lives in a fantasy world.”
E-mail to NRO about her neighbors: Residents of the DC area could recognize Lindauer was likely a lefty by the second paragraph, which states that she is a resident of Takoma Park, MD. Among other things, TP is a nuclear-free zone and I believe it went overwhelmingly for Nader in 2000."
Ain't America great?
