Indiana Man Charged With Trying To Sell Secrets To Iraq

INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana man has been indicted on accusations he tried to sell the names of U.S. intelligence agents to Iraq before the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Shaaban Hafiz Ahmad Ali Shaaban, a 52-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested Thursday after an investigation of more than a year by the FBI and other agencies, U.S. Attorney Susan W. Brooks said.

Shaaban, also known as Shaaban Shaaban Hafed and Joe H. Brown, is suspected of going to Iraq in 2002 and making a deal to sell the names. He isn't accused of providing the information or receiving money for it, Brooks told Indiana TV station WRTV.

The allegations focus on events that are alleged to have occurred before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.

"Agreeing to provide names of United States operatives to Iraq in the months immediately preceding the war are very serious charges that go to the heart of the nation's security," Brooks said in a news release.

...vbery serious charges and go right to the heart of U.S. security. Wow, did Robert Novak realize that when he spilled the story of Wilson-Novak-Plame?

So they say. Perhaps the same "reliable sources" that told them all about Sadam's WMD's have concocted this latest tall tale.

American indicted for selling list of US spies to Saddam

Saturday, March 05, 2005

WASHINGTON: A naturalised US citizen has been indicted in the midwestern state of Indiana on charges he agreed in 2002 to sell the names of US spies in Iraq to Saddam Hussein’s government for three million dollars (2.3 million euros), according to court documents.

“Seeking out those who would work with foreign governments and organizations hostile to this country is the top priority of Department of Justice,” US Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana Susan Brooks said Thursday when Shaaban Hafiz Ahmad Ali Shaaban appeared in court.

According to the indictment, Shaaban, 52, also known as Shaaban Hafed and Joe Brown, was charged with conspiracy, acting as a foreign agent without notification and violating the Iraqi sanctions in place before Saddam was deposed by the US-led military invasion two years ago. It alleges Shaaban traveled to Iraq in late 2002 to meet with members of the Iraqi Intelligence Service and agreed to sell the name of US intelligence operatives in Iraq for three million dollars. afp

Daily Times, Pakistan? Released today? Funny, all I've heard about is Martha...
Again, distraction from you-know-where: starts w/an "I"

The burden of proof is on the person or group making the assertion

And why isn't the repuke who told the whole world the name of a CIA agent facing similar charges?
