A Spy in the White House

Posted on October 5, 2005

Ok, this can't be good. Apparently, Dick Cheney had an actual spy working for him for several years. He was a naturalized citizen and he used his top secret clearance to get into the computers and send secret documents to the Phillipines (who knows where they went from there). He also worked for Condi when she was National Security Advisor and was at the White House when Al Gore was Vice-president.

In 2000, Aragoncillo worked on the staff of then-Vice President Al Gore. When interviewed by Philippine television, he remarked how valued Philippine employees were at the White House.
"I think what they like most is our integrity and loyalty," Aragoncillo said.

How in the world does this happen in a post 9/11 world? Didn't everyone at the White House get re-vetted after we were attacked? Apparently not.

And on another subject, how humiliating. The spy didn't work for Russia or China or one of the big players. He worked for the Phillipines. That's just embarassing.
