Woman imprisoned for selling to Saddam was working for CIA

The Raw Story
October 12, 2009
A Detroit-area businesswoman serving a six-year sentence in federal prison for selling goods to Iraq during the embargo against Saddam Hussein was unwittingly working for the CIA, the woman’s supporters say.
According to NBC affiliate WDIV, Dawn Hanna of Rochester Hills, Michigan, was working for a CIA contractor when she arranged for telecommunications equipment to be sent to the Middle East in 2002 and 2003.

The person claiming to be that contractor, Emad Al-Yawer, says that he was working on a CIA plan to sell communications equipment to Saddam Hussein that would be bugged with espionage instruments. The plan was for the agency to locate and kill the Iraqi dictator.
“The whole idea was, once they get to Saddam, send a smart bomb and blow him [to] smithereens,” Al-Yawer told WDIV. Al-Yawer’s Jordanian company, Advanced Technical Systems, was the partner with whom Hanna worked to deliver the communications equipment.
What’s more, Al-Yawer says Hanna didn’t know the equipment was headed to Iraq; he had told her it was to fulfill a contract with a Turkish company. That claim matches Hanna’s defense in her trial.
In an affidavit (PDF), Al-Yawer, whose name has been removed from the publicly available version of the document, said he had told federal agents investigating Hanna that she had no knowledge of the communication equipment’s final destination.
But, as WDIV noted, the judge found this new information “not important enough” to warrant a new trial.
Hanna — who was in charge of sales for her family company, Technology Integration Group Services — was convicted last year on eight criminal counts, including conspiracy, violation of the trade embargo and money laundering. Her brother Darrin, who was also charged but acquitted on lack of evidence, says the prosecution “carved out” the story the jury wanted to hear.
Prosecutors “made up a whole different story,” Darrin Hanna said. “It’s absolutely awful. It’s un-American.”
According to Justice for Dawn Hanna, a Web site for Hanna’s supporters, “the prosecutors in the case, Barbara McQuade and Michael Martin, hid the … facts from the defense and, instead, prosecuted the case as if Dawn knew that the brokered equipment was headed to Iraq and wanted to help Saddam Hussein … the exact opposite of the truth.”
But, as a news report at Crain’s Detroit Business states, the prosecution presented evidence that Hanna had discussed the legality of the sale with her Jordanian client.
“The jury concluded the defendant was guilty of intentionally violating the trade embargo with Iraq, that she had specific knowledge of that, and that essentially her defense regarding Turkey was not true,” US Attorney Terence Berg told WDIV.
But Al-Yawer claims Hanna had no idea the equipment was headed to Iraq. “Never, at any time, did I mention to Dawn or anyone else where it’s going,” he told WDIV. He claims “it was his responsibility to lie, cheat and steal, if necessary, to get the equipment into Saddam’s hands,” the station reported.
Al-Yawer expressed shock that an American citizen could be locked up for unknowingly working for the CIA.
“You only get this [kind of thing] in third-world countries,” Al-Yawer said. “Not countries that carry [the symbols] of liberty and freedom.”

GOOD GRIEF, is the populace so uninformed about JURY NULLIFICATION ? The members of the JURY have more power than anyone in the courtroom, and it’s about damm time we start using it.

the jurors have no power. The judges make the laws and enforce the NWO by enforcing a police state. The jury can say ‘X’ and the judge will just say “Nope. You can’t. I rule ‘Y’.” and toss it all out. Jury nulification is meaningless. We need to work on real world communities under the govts radar in the here and now.

It might be “…straight outta Sleeper Cell Season 2″, but it is STILL a technique which can be (and HAS been…) used! One simply “dials in” to the frequency used by the target cell phone and have the smart bomb “home in” on the signal: BOOM! Casualties…

It sounds like to me that the CIA contractor that hired her without knowledge to ship those things may have set her up or been told to implicate her because of something HE or somebody in the CIA did without authorization. Lets say that during the 9/11 situation happening at the time everything was a panic and some low level CIA men or man used a contact to ship electronics equipment to Iraq (before the attack or war) in order to find Saddam Hussien, but they weren’t authorized to do it. Once information started to leak out they where in a panic and their bosses weren’t going to look out for them, so they started to backtrack and cover their tracks (with the help of the CIA asset because they most likely have stuff on him and know that their superiors won’t believe him). And seeing her authorization selling him the stuff, was enough to essentially hang her with this problem and keep their careers intact.

This Bitch got what she deserved.

Sadam Hussein (is he related to Barack Hussein somehow??) received military and inteligence assistance from USA and CIA during 80’s, in the same time when Al-Quaeda received funding and weapons from USA and CIA, which used Pakistani ISI as a proxy.
That’s old news.
Why did they put her in prison?

There’s got to be more to this story. Why did they find it necessary to send their patsy to prison?
It’s all still fishy.

As the time goes on , people of america have everyday less and less freedom due to politics conducted by federal power. Also , as a consequence of the economic crisis , more and more of them have lost their job and home. But the crisis is not finished , and in near future the consequences could be catastrophic. Keep in mind that any change can not come from the federal government , but only the people , the only source of any future chagement. If a majority of them think a change is possible , so it can be. A way to preserve freedom , ideals , welfare of people is federalism must come to an end. People will have to make a choise , federalism versus freedom , ideals , welfare… . The first could lead to the establishment of a martial law. A state as texas is ready to cross the line , it could be an example for the others. People could put under pressure every state government in the aim to declare secession , the american constitution allow such a decision. Such an aim can’t be aimed without any precaution , as it is evident the federal power is not ready to yield or abdicate. Probably , this one will use force to submit people , but constitution give garantees on firearms. people can put up a fight against the oppressive federal power if a political issue according to the will of people can not be lead. People have to make his will respect , otherwise it will be an opressed people. Saying that federalism must come to an end mean it must be break down , it appears to be the only way to preserve people. America can be easily imagined without federalism and preserved.

Since the case against this woman is false, The next thing a person should do is ask what the real reason for her incarceration is?
Welcome to the Technological Dark Ages, it may have something to do with what she was thinking, which was divined by a super computer tracking the web sights she was visiting.
