Oct. 5, 2005 — Both the FBI and CIA are calling it the first case of espionage in the White House in modern history.

Officials tell ABC News the alleged spy worked undetected at the White House for almost three years. Leandro Aragoncillo, 46, was a U.S. Marine most recently assigned to the staff of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Our “wartime” president has a really terrific national security record. The Valerie Plame affair in which his top aide, Karl Rove, and the vice president’s top aide, Scooter Libby, are believed to be the official source for “outing” a covert CIA agent is one part of the record. The terrible fact that Osama bin Laudin is still free and walking around and directing a terrorist network makes me bleed red, white and blue. Taking us into a war in which all the justifications have proven false is discouraging. The response to Katrina calls into question our preparedness for a terror attack after all these years of pouring money into the nation’s largest bureaucracy, the Homeland Security Fiasco. Does anyone know who sent the nation’s capital envelopes of anthrax??? Seems like that’s dropped off the radar for some reason. Both of the wildest regiemes on the face of the earth, North Korea and Iran, our sworn enemies, have developed or are developing nuclear weapons. Our military is stretched so thin… I’ll ask a question I’ve asked before: Have we ever had such incompetent governance?
