Interesting and weird

[reuters]. This Maryland woman is charged with conspiracy, acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, and taking money from a government that supports terrorism.

What the article says she did was visit multiple times the Iraqi Mission at the UN; meet members of the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) between Oct 1999-March 2002; visited Baghdad in Feb/March 2002 and took payment of $10,000. In 2003, she sent a letter to the "home of a US Gov't official" saying she had access to members of the Hussein regime.

Based on what's said in the article, I can't tell if she's a CIA agent who turned for $$, or a prostititute who contacted Colin Powell to say she is sleeping with Tariq Azziz. But the latter sounds more likely.
