CNN: The FBI translator who went rogue and married an ISIS terrorist
- Thread starter Makonero
- Start date
Cuz they didn't want it to get out that an FBI agent committed treason.
Been watching Scrubs due to it leaving Netflix tomorrow and so the first thing I thought of was that TCW arc they had.

I can't even wrap my head around how this even happened. How could you fall in love and marry a violent terrorist who takes selfies holding severed human heads? What a fucking dreamboat...
I mean, was it possible she was forced into this in some way? I just don't get it...

You really don't want to scare defectors from returning home on their own.
Apparently he was spitting that game.

And people wonder why red pill and other alpha bullshit pops up...
I'm really surprise she is out... wouldn't intelligence with the enemy be like life without parole or death penalty?
she was like there for three weeks
literally she went "on vacation," married this dude (while still married to an American soldier back home), had second thoughts, returned and then got arrested.
And she was 38, not 18. There's no excuse.

She is not a random schmuck. She was an agent.

There is no justice in this world. People do life for drug charges and this idiot commits treason and gets 2 years? What a fucking joke.
The article doesn't actually say that she went to join ISIS, but that she went to marry an ISIS propagandist. That might be a problematic legal distinction.
It sounds like they tried her more for the sharing of secrets part, by warning him.

Yep! They try to justify those drug sentences by claiming the person could ruin many other lives, but a fucking terrorist is considered less of a big deal despite holding severed heads.

Maybe she wanted a promotion and figured this would really convince her supervisors how much she loved her job.
There is a very high bar to reach for treason, one that I doubt she managed to meet. Several Americans have left the country not just to marry a terrorist, but to fight with them. I don't know of any that have been charged with treason. The Washington Post has a good article about the myths of treason.
Without knowing what information she gave ISIS and what information she then gave to the FBI, it's hard to come to a conclusion about the jail sentence. Since she was a translator, I'd be surprised if she was privy to too much sensitive information at the FBI.

And here I though that CTU was unrealistic in how easy they had double agents.

ISIS has some weird effect on people.
Not just desperate men looking for martyrdom - but how many women just gave up their lives and flew to Syria to be wedded off to one of these people?
What is it? What is the psychology behind it?

what? you don't get off to the thought of severed heads?
home depot doesn't have enough paint to inhale for that
But Quantico showed me it was really hard to get into the FBI, or something.

Is it stupidity? Or some form of mental illness?
Think about how many everyday women around the world flew to Syria to be wedded off to these psychopaths?
There is a level of psychology here there needs to investigated.
I don't know if they feared some sort of doomsday prophecy or if the images of beheadings drove them to temporary insanity or what, but there is some fucked up psychological stuff going on with ISIS and these "brides".

If Manning and Snowden slipped through in the CIA, anything is possible.

Makes me think of Homeland; sometimes, you fall for the operative you're trying to turn.
Such a good show.

I'm concerned about the safety of people around her. She's the dangerous one.

I'm going to wait a few days for more information to come out before I get surprised by this. The whole story is just too weird, I feel like we must be missing something.

Let's be real. Being a blonde white woman certainly didn't hurt.

Took her that long, huh?
And two years in prison for aiding a terrorist organisation. Alright then... I'd have expected that to be 2 decades.
