Iraqi sleeper agent convicted

In a story destined to be totally buried by today's news, a Chicago jury today convicted an Iraqi-American named Sami Khoshaba Latchin for spying on Iraqi dissidents on behalf of Saddam Hussein:
The evidence included testimony from three former Iraqi intelligence officers who said Latchin, a husky former airline employee who has lived quietly for years in a Chicago suburb, was one of them.

Two of the former intelligence officers testified using aliases, saying they were concerned about reprisals from Saddam Hussein sympathizers.
This story has gotten about as much press as this one did, initially pointed out way back when by LASunsett over at Political Yen-Yang. Wonder how many other Iraqi ISI agents were operating in America?

Ah, no need to worry, Iraq was not a threat as we've all been told. Of course, that was before they were a threat, as we were all told.
