Is Hezbollah Spying On The CIA?



Miscalleneous

Lebanese-born Nada Prouty faked her way into an American citizenship, worked for the FBI and the CIA and was caught snooping yesterday in top secret Hezbollah files.

Apparently, Nada had the information passed to relatives with “ties to Hezbollah”. She pleaded guilty with most charges and promised to help in the investigation.

Because it has all the elements of a drama -an illegal immigrant, the CIA and a Muslim terrorist organization- the story is snowballing in the American blogosphere, and it seems the repercussions are going to be bad to all of you people who have an American passport but who were born and raised in Lebanon. Don’t despair, perhaps working for the CIA wasn’t for you after all.

  2. Blowing smoke. What kind of clearance could she have? She was doing a check on herself and her in-law. As far as HA….????we do not know much. It looks like hype.

  3. tsk tsk tsk… Hezbollah has reached the CIA. In fact, I think they are the true cause thats damaging the ecosphere and a direct finger pointing to global Warming. Hezbollah should be fined and punished.

  4. “She was doing a check on herself and her in-law”

    The only reason she was doing this check, whether within her legal right or not, was that she knows that someone in her family has done something, otherwise why would she? Any CIA employee knows you don’t go snooping around CIA computer files just for the heck of it.

    It’s obvious she found something and she passed it along.

    I say fry the bitch.

  5. she was doing a check on herself and her brother in law to find out what the FBI and CIA knew about them! her brother in law is a La Shish restaurant owner, Talal Chahine, who has fled the country to escape indictment for evading taxes and sending the restaurant money to Hizballah (to the tune of $20 million). Prosecutors said she took an unknown quantity of classified information home with her. It’s unclear what happened, or what she did with the information, prosecutors said.
    whats also upsetting in all this is that the FBI and CIA employed Nada Nadim even though she wasn’t in the country legally!

  6. Hmm! You know it’s a real security breach when a janitor (umm, nada) is able to access classified CIA docs.

  7. im sure there is a whole lot more to this story than is written. if she passed on sensitive info, then that is treason. jonathan pollard is in jail for the exact same crime, as are other former cia agents. it seems that the american govt is going way too easy on her. she moved up the ranks pretty damn quick. and to get into the fbi, you can be a maximum of 31 years old, at least those were the rules in the past. she barely made it in. and within a few years she is in the cia? able to work undercover? i can’t help but think this is way too questionable.
    peace

  9. They made a mistake, this woman cannot be Lebanese. No self respecting Lebanese woman would allow her mug shot to be taken with her hair looking that awful.

  11. Mus, I think this leak has a huge threat behind, along the lines of “We are watching you, so don’t overstay our welcome”.

    Truth is, one of the most ironic issues with Hizbullah-oriented Shias in the States is the pursue of the Green Card; if you hate USA so bad, why the F*#% work so hard to earn your Greend Card???? Marriage and work and tests and interviews and, mostly, the obligatory stay for the renewal period.

    Moreover, how ironic is it that they are exerting their freedom of speech against Bush IN the USA? I wonder whether they’ll import something back to South Lebanon one day.

  12. How hypocrate are these people! They hate the US and they argue that we don’t want to be controlled by the US and when I told one of them that you are living in the US and under its control why are you here? His response was it is different! No loyalty, just liars!!! My reply to them, you don’t like the US, get out and if you love Iran and Syria that much go there! Go to the country that you love, IRAN!!! They will not last a month!

  14. Z.H., I think you are right when you say, “We are watching you, so don’t overstay our welcome.” Only who’s watfching who? you speak with such an air of authoritative knowledge. where do you get this? can i have some? who else is overstaying his welcome? in which land? quick! jump!

  15. HA masses have no allegiance to their own *homeland* Lebanon, and you expect them to have allegiance to the new adopted homeland America!

    I say the US is too weak when it comes to confronting these terrorist sympathizers. Deport them in a heartbeat.

  16. It’s funny to see how some of you guys quitly jump to conclusions. It’s easier to blame everything on Hezbollah and not try to understand what really happened right? In fact, you guys behave exactly like Zionists ;) WELL HATE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT AND SPREAD LIES AS MUCH AS YOU WANT BUT THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL AT THE END.

    Zionists are ecstatic about Nada Nadim Prouty, the former FBI and CIA agent who plead guilty on Tuesday 13 Nov 07 to immigration fraud, and to examining her own computer file while she worked for the FBI. Zionists are happy for two reasons. First, they can use this to claim that Hezbollah moles have infiltrated both the FBI and CIA. Second, the case gives Zionists more ammunition against the Arab-American Institute (AAI), a powerful advocacy group founded in 1985 by James Zogby, brother of pollster John Zogby. The AAI is headquartered in Washington DC, and works to mobilize Arab-American voters.

    That said, I’d like to remind you that since Ms. Prouty passed no information to Hezbollah, and never worked on any case involving Hezbollah, she was charged with immigration fraud.

    Zionists are using this case to say that Muslims have infiltrated all levels of the U.S. government.
    The Zionist Forward web site says this…”Prody is a drop in the bucket! As long as we continue to hire Muslims to be translators and analysts, as long as we continue to give money to Muslim schools, this is the result we will get. Spies, spies, and more spies. How much longer will it be before Al Qaeda takes over the entire USA? When the bloody hell are we going to wake up from our coma of illusion, and smell the radical Islam that’s setting the entire West ablaze? How soon will we all succumb to the toxic fumes of jihad?”

    USA Today says, “An Lebanese illegal alien arranged a bogus marriage to earn US citizenship and jobs with the FBI and CIA - then sneaked into a top-secret government computer to see what investigators uncovered about Hezbollah and her family’s ties to terror.”
    The media portrays Ms. Prouty as a “Hezbollah mole,” when all she did was check the FBI computer (twice) to see if the FBI was going after her sister.

    Ms. Prouty never had any connection with Hezbollah, and was not charged with having any connection. Yet the media inserts the word “Hezbollah” in every paragraph.

    Yes, a small group of fighters is dedicated to protecting Lebanon from Israeli invasion. A small group in a small (but beautiful) country.

    Yet they are a “global terrorist organization.”
