Ex-CIA Worker Admits Theft Of Items Pricey and Peculiar

George C. Dalmas III, a CIA employee for almost 20 years, yesterday admitted to breaking into 10 homes in the McLean area about a year ago and taking valuables and curiosities.

The loot from his daylight burglaries included Camp David cuff links, a Daughters of the American Revolution pin, a gold Phi Beta Kappa necklace, Cartier hoop earrings, a Tiffany gold scarab ring, a sapphire-diamond necklace, rhinestone bracelets, a Rolex watch and even a Fauquier High School ring. He also helped himself to several antique clocks and old radios -- all treasures he told his wife he had picked up at yard sales ...

Search warrants list 1,074 pairs of women's undergarments that he stole, many of which were stuffed in shopping bags inside a filing cabinet at his Fulton Avenue home in Falls Church ...

Dalmas, 48, pleaded guilty to 10 burglaries that each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Dalmas, who has no prior criminal record, was fired from his mid-level administrative post at the CIA. Mark Mansfield, a CIA spokesman, said Dalmas joined the agency in November 1986. He was suspended without pay in February and terminated in August ...

1. thats quite a mug shot. I don't doubt he has a mental disorder, 1074

pairs of womans underwear makes that clear.

5. I would like to point out, on behlaf of Mr. Dalmas...

That he is NOT a number.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip the bartenders and wait staff. Do try the veal. ;-)

3. So THAT's where my undies went!

And I bet that NSA agent I saw peeping in the window was after my high heels. Darn those G-men!!

4. What the hell is the matter with that picture? It looks photoshopped!

The eyes aren't right. The whites of his eyes are too white. They look inexpertly painted in. And look at the eyelid of the right eye. That looks really phony.

If the eyes bear any resemblance to his real eyes, he must be drugged. He looks nearly comatose. Or was the photo doctored to make him look that way?

Something smells to high heaven about this story--and the photo adds to that suspicion.

6. What would a CIA employee of 20 years be doing robbing 10 CIA homes in

McLean, VA?

Could be he just went wacko. Especially working for the Bush Junta.

Other possibilities: The valuables and underwear were cover for something else he was looking for? He got caught, so now they have to say he was crazy? He was programmed to look for something else, but "went off"--his programmng failed--and he robbed other things IN ORDER TO BE caught? He was part of some Rumfeldian or Cheney-ian, or some other Bushite, plot, connected to the war between the CIA and the White House (especially hot right now with the Libby trial, and the Wilsons' civill suit)? He was supposed to kill somebody, using the robberies as cover--but failed in his mission, got caught, got drugged or otherwise messed with, so that he couldn't remember what the mission was, and therefore couldn't reveal it?

I do think that it is a very big possibility that a "cloak and dagger" war could be going on. And this totally bizarre story--not to mention the photo--adds to that suspicion. I'm thinking, too, of the Gonzales purge of honest prosecutors. And all of this in the midst of another big flap about intelligence--"the case against Iran"--revision of the doc that was supposed to be released, and wasn't.

Also, this is a WaPo story. Not. To. Be. Trusted. They are a Bush Junta propaganda organ.

-------------------

Oops, I got the timeframe wrong. He did the robberies a year ago, and now is making restitution. Not that there was any less crime, skulduggery and treason going on in the Bush Junta a year ago, than there is now. A year ago, the Fitzgerald investigation was still going on, I believe. It's still going on now--but a year ago would have been prior to Fitzgerald pressure on Rove (June '06), and while he was still gathering facts, and squeezing perps to break the conspiracy against the honest professionals in the CIA open. I don't remember this story when it originally broke. It's new to me. So the photo is likely from back then--a mug shot. I still think it's doctored. And I still think it's a good possibility that he was looking for something else--or doing something else--than he has admitted.

8. I don't think the pic is "altered", just low quality.

As for your other theories, who knows? All the tinfoil hats
in the world aren't enough to cover the bizarre things the CIA
has actually done.

7. National security precludes (+)ID in mugshot?

Iris scanning does not require the person to interact with a device; a video image of the eye can be taken from one foot away. This has obvious benefits in applications like the one to positively identify prisoners described at the end of this section. The user's iris pattern is reflected back to the camera, which captures the unique pattern and stores it using less than 35 bytes of information. Like iris scanning, facial feature identification systems can capture images from a distance (several meters) using video equipment. As in other more complex systems, the challenge is achieving high levels of performance as the size of the database increases. The potential of these systems is generating much interest. Increased development efforts are needed in the areas of multimedia video technology and the complex software that facial identification requires.

9. How does one sentence a mental disorder?

Did they arrest it and make the owner surrender it?

:rofl:

10. "The loot from his daylight burglaries...

They do like to steal the watches, don't they? I honestly wonder why.
