filipino spy? in the white house?



picture from cnn (sketch: christine cornell)

so today we find out that a former marine, leandro aragoncillo (a naturalized us citizen) had allegedly misused his top-secret fbi clearance to steal classified info and sent it to people in the philippines. (article on cnn here.)

now why in the world would he do this? the philippines, a long-standing ally of the us, has absolutely no reason to spy on it....

well apparently, some say that among the stuff he stole was a classified dossier on president arroyo, and that he passed it along to her political opposition. so what would the opposition need the dossier for? a coup? conspiracy theory.....??

ok, enough with that direction...again, these are all allegations right now, so things will get settled pretty soon. will the media cover it? maybe.........

looking around the web today...i found a good resource/link site for filipino-american history / culture, so check it out here. resources compiled by the lemieux library.
