Espionage Case Breaches the White House

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.

I don't know of a case where the vetting broke down before and resulted in a spy being in the White House," said Richard Clarke, a former White House advisor who is now an ABC News consultant.

Federal investigators say Aragoncillo, a naturalized citizen from the Philippines, used his top secret clearance to steal classified intelligence documents from White House computers.

In 2000, Aragoncillo worked on the staff of then-Vice President Al Gore. When interviewed by Philippine television, he remarked how valued Philippine employees were at the White House.

"I think what they like most is our integrity and loyalty," Aragoncillo said.

While the theft of classified material isn't as sensitive as the SIOP (Single Integrated Operational Plan - the playbook for nuclear war) or the latest crypto keylists from No Such Agency, the passing of that intelligence ingo to opposition parties in the Philippines definitely is going to cause some serious embarrassment between the U.S. and the Philippine government. Foreign governments don't take it too kindly when another country snoops on their internal affairs.

Heated words will be exchanged and Aragoncillo will serve time in the Federal prison system, not to mention possibly losing his naturalization and being deported. Pride in your heritage and/or your native country doesn't mean you sell out your adopted one.
