This just up on Drudge:
An American citizen was arrested Thursday on charges she acted as an Iraqi spy before and after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, accepting $10,000 for her work, prosecutors said Thursday.
Susan Lindauer, 41, was arrested in her hometown of Takoma Park, Md., and was to appear in court later in the day in Baltimore, authorities in New York said.
She was accused of conspiring to act as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence Service and with engaging in prohibited financial transactions involving the government of Iraq under dictator Saddam Hussein.
According to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Lindauer made multiple visits from October 1999 through March 2002 to the Iraqi Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan.
There, she met with several members of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, the foreign intelligence arm of the government of Iraq that allegedly has played a role in terrorist operations, including an attempted assassination of former President George H.W. Bush, the indictment alleged.
Is this the same Susan Lindauer that was involved in the Lockerbie bombing?

Takoma Park resident! Such a shock.
Not.

I’m guessing that Takoma Park is in Montgomery County… Am I right?

The Smoking Gun reveals she worked for (shock!) Carol Moseley-Braun, as well as Ron Wyden and Peter DeFazio.

Silver Spring and Takoma Park are about one mile apart.
HH
By the way, I wonder if Kerry will seek Moseley-Braun’s endorsement as much as Dean did.
HH
Moseley-Braun has convenient amnesia…

Silver Spring and Takoma Park are side-by-side (sez the former Silver Spring kid). And yes, TP is all in Montgomery Co. now, having voting themselves in.
Fitting this alleged traiter should live in that Workers’ Paradise:
