She was accused of conspiring to act as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence Service and engaging in prohibited financial transactions involving the government of Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The prosecution claims that she accepted $10,000 for the work.
Employment
Lindauer worked at Fortune, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and U.S. News & World Report before beginning a career as a political publicist. She then worked for Representative Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon (1993) and then Representative Ron Wyden, D-Oregon (1994) before joining the office of Senator Carol Moseley Braun, D-Illinois, where she worked as a press secretary for 9 months. From March to May 2002, she worked for Representative Zoe Lofgren, D-California.
Quote
"I'm an anti-war activist and I'm innocent...I did more to stop terrorism in this country than anybody else. I have done good things for this country. I worked to get weapons inspectors back to Iraq when everyone else said it was impossible. I'm very proud and I'll stand by my achievements."
Lindauer faces up to 10 years in prison on the most serious charge and five years on the lesser charge if convicted.

On August 5, 1996 hundreds, perhaps even thousands of messages of
this type were posted to the usenet. Most were posted or re-posted
to news.admin.net-abuse.misc, and most of them consist of 1000's
of ostensiby random words. While it cannot be determined directly
whether this particular message is in fact from the same Susan Lindauer
who was arrested on charges of spying for Iraq on March 11th, 2004,
it might be of interest to fans of cryptanalysis or puzzles in
general to try to duduce - in the event this message is in fact not
a random instance, just what the correct decoding is.
One obvious clue might be the occurance of the name Hertzog who
might actually be Werner Hertzog, an internationally aclaimed
film-maker who once made a documentary motion-picture about the so
called shock jock of televangelism, also known as the illustrious
Dr. Eugene Scott. If Hertzog refers to Hertzog, who made the film
"God's Angry Man", then the "ditty craggy flogging variac brotherhood"
might refer to Dr. Gene Scott's employees. Alternately, it is known
that Dr. Gene Scott's corporate counsel is none other than the
famous Ed Masry as seen in the movie Erin Brockovich. If this
is the case, then "ditty craggy flogging variac brotherhood" could
refer instead to a group of person who worked at [[Pacific Gas and
Electric]]. If this decoding is correct - then IIT most chairperson
substitutes similarly for an un-named Pacific Gas and Electric
executive, who Linduar may have subsequently sold information about
to operatives of the Iraqi government.
Even more diabolical is the occurance of the phrase
"pinpoint dunk McKinley pendant firelight" in the message, since
pinpoint and dunk may be words that refer to the carrying out of some
kind of act of locating and carrying out a hostile action agaist
a president or other political figure, referred to as McKinley
or Abe, for the purpose of dunking the candidate, or elected
official. Now as for the identity of the official to be "dunked"
by the people that Lindauer was doing business with - there are
numerous possibilies, the most egregous and shocking of which would
be the posibility of "dunking" the "firelight" which in a religous
conext would have to include the possibility of "dunking" the
burning Bush
