"Security" guards

Michelle has a great catch: thirty-odd security guards who were not especially secure, seeing as they were actually illegal aliens. Thirty is a lot; I'll give this some scandal points for quantity, but as for quality, it just doesn't fall below the guffaw-inducing egregiousness of illegal immigrant/ Hezbollah operative Nadia Nadim Prouty, who was working for the FBI and CIA.

But since we're on the subject: whatever happened to our old buddy Sivapalasri Velayuthampillai? You might recall he was the security agent at Newark airport, who was also here on a forged passport, running an identity theft ring, and quite possibly funding the Tamil Tiger terror troupe back in his native Sri Lanka? I thought that was a good story back in October when he was busted, but it seems to have vanished.

Last I can see is a New York Daily News item (sorry, no link) from January 8, three of the ring of six forgers got a one-to-three year slap on the wrist, but Velayuthampillai's charges were still pending...

Oh, and since I'm asking questions, what's happening with ol' Prouty? Here's all I know:

As for the Prouty case -- she pleaded guilty to charges of misusing a computer and immigration fraud -- the CIA "views with extreme seriousness any potential compromise of its sources and methods," he said.

Other intelligence officials said some key issues in the Prouty case are secret for legal reasons, suggesting the case compromised recruited agents overseas.

As with past cases involving trusted insiders who spied for U.S. enemies, the reaction of intelligence bureaucrats to the Prouty case has been to minimize the damage, something that is not done when their target is the press.

Prouty's sister, who helped her get her job with the FBI, got sentenced to a crushing three months in jail (running concurrently with her tax fraud sentence) and gets stripped of her U.S. citizenship. Wooo--ee! That'll teach her!
