| [IsraelTimes] Mariam Thompson, 62, divulged real names of at least 8 people working for US intelligence in Iraq to a Lebanese national she had a romantic link with. A Pentagon translator was sentenced Wednesday to 23 years in prison for passing the names of US informants in Iraq to a person linked to Hezbollah, Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that... ’s powerful Shiite terror group. Mariam Thompson, 62, had admitted transmitting the classified information to a Lebanese national in hopes that it would be passed on to the group designated a terrorist organization by Washington. "Thompson’s sentence reflects the seriousness of her violation of the trust of the American people, of the human sources she jeopardized and of the troops who worked at her side as friends and colleagues," John Demers, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a statement. According to court documents, Thompson worked as an interpreter on a foreign military base when, in 2017, she began a relationship on a video app with a man who said he was connected to Hezbollah in Lebanon. "Over time, Thompson developed a romantic interest in her co-conspirator," the Justice Department said. She was assigned to American special forces in Arbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, in December 2019, when the unit initiated strikes against a pro-Iranian militia, which ended January 3, 2020, with the death of powerful Iranian General Qassim Suleimani. Shortly after, Thompson’s contact asked for information about agents suspected of having aided the United States. She gave him data on several American informants, including the real names of at least eight people, accessed through personnel files, and information on US military tactics. She was arrested by federal authorities the next month, in late February 2020. |

| #6 I could have sworn we had the story of the original arrest, but I couldn’t find it in the archives. Yet another jihadi BFF was actually a government informer? Thank goodness! |
