More On the Blindness of our Intelligence Agencies

Here's an interesting piece that sort of dovetails with something I posted just yesterday...

Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese national, infiltrated both the FBI and CIA — even though she lied on her application about being a U.S. citizen. Both agencies failed to catch the fraud in their security checks.

Prouty went on to access secret files about Hezbollah to tip off family members linked to the Lebanon-based terror group, something investigators failed to turn up in their original background check.

So, the CIA and FBI are both unable to even determine which of their applicants is a citizen?

If we don't get on the ball, we are doomed as a nation.
