Helping A fellow Zionist?

Susan P. Lindauer, an extremely wealthy Zionist, who is the daughter of Jacob Lindauer II, and a cousin to Andrew Card.  Her family owned the largest cement company in the Midwest. Ms Lindauer was arrested in 2004, charged with espionage, and faced up to 10 years in prison.

She was in Carswell Federal Prison when Judge Mukasey intervened, saying she was 'Mistreated', and declared her incompetent to stand trial. She is now free on bail, and probably won't stand trial.
