Top Issues in 2017 for Security Clearance Denials

yes, somehow people like Ames, Howard, Peterssen, etc. all seem to slip through the BI process. I’ve often wondered about that.

Peterssen? Have to google that one.

FBI agent who provided damaging information to the USSR and then Russia.

Do you mean Hanssen?

I found a Petersen who spied for the Dutch (yes) while employed by NSA back in the 50s

I think you’re correct.

Why would anyone spy for the Netherlands? lol

Yeah it was a weird story… apparently they recruited him while he was in Europe with the military and he kept providing them info after he got back to the US.

Did the Dutch blackmail him by getting him addicted to chocolate? LOL

I dont know but the Belgians might be able to recruit me with beer :beers:
