OOPS!

Er, uh....OOPS! Big phukin, uhhh...OOPS! What can you say about this other than, well, you know?

As Schneier quotes from the article:

[H]ow did an illegal alien from Lebanon who was working as a waitress at a shish kabob restaurant in Detroit manage to slip through extensive security background checks, including polygraphs, to land highly sensitive positions with the nation's top law enforcement and intelligence agencies?

How indeed? Though, as a person who has worked in US Intelligence, it's not *that* hard to believe. Still very improbable, yes, but some of the cliche jokes about US Intelligence aren't that far off.

My favorite part (and why we in Military MI called the FBI stooges), is this:

Prouty, according to court documents, first entered the United States from Lebanon in 1989 on a one-year nonimmigrant student visa. After her visa expired she illegally remained in the country, residing in Taylor, Mich., with her sister and another individual. In order to stay in the country and evade immigration laws, she offered money to an unemployed U.S. citizen to marry her in the summer of 1990. But according to her indictment Prouty "never lived as husband and wife with her fraudulent 'husband' and the marriage was never consummated sexually."

A shish kabob waitress with ties to Hizbullah gets into the FBI and CIA with one of the most common ploys done in ANY country to get citizenship and what is considered noteworthy for the report is whether or not she slept with the guy. *That* is hard to believe. I would have had my ass shredded about 5 seconds after my superiors read that if I submitted it in a report. And I would have deserved it.
