| Lengthy 'cry me a river' article. Follows is an Excerpt: [NYT of course] She lost her military security clearance; her promotion from major to lieutenant colonel was revoked when the news broke. The F.B.I. still has her computers -- including her dissertation research -- and she withdrew from her Ph.D. program. She said she was told in more than one job interview that, while she was qualified, hiring her would be a public-relations nightmare. |
