As a U.S. Intelligence Asset, Susan Lindauer covered anti-terrorism at the Iraqi Embassy in New York from 1996 up to the invasion. Independent sources have confirmed that she gave advance warning about the 9/11 attack and after requesting to testify before Congress about Pre-War Intelligence, Lindauer became the first non-Arab American detained under the Patriot Act. After five years of indictment without a conviction or guilty plea, the Justice Department dismissed all charges five days before President Obama’s inauguration. Susan talks about her ordeal and our National peril contained in her book Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11.
