Bobo sends us a link to the Navy Times<\/a> which tales the story of James Robert Baker, an Iranian who became a naturalized US citizen and went to work as an engineer in the Naval Sea Systems Command for thirty years or so. He had access to military secrets while secretly maintaining his Iranian passport and receiving money from sketchy sources to a number of bank accounts and in possession of a number of social security numbers;<\/p>\n

In July, authorities searched Baker\u2019s home in Springfield, Va., and discovered a Maryland driver\u2019s license under the name Majid Karimi and seized the key to a safe-deposit box located at a bank in Vienna, a few minutes\u2019 drive from his home. Not long after agents arrived at the bank, an incensed Baker walked in demanding the bank give him immediate access to his safe deposit box. The agents told Baker to have a seat while they executed the warrant.<\/p>\n

When they opened the box they found three Iranian passports \u2014 two expired and one active, the last issued in 2012 \u2014 under the name Majid Karimi with Baker\u2019s photograph on them.<\/p>\n

Authorities also found four different social security cards dating back to July 6, 1979 \u2014 two under the name James Robert Baker and two under Majid Karimi with addresses in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Furthermore, Karimi had driver\u2019s licenses and ID cards from Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Delaware and New Jersey.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It looks like he came to the US in 1979 (the same year as the Islamic Revolution took control of Iran) and he became a naturalized citizen in 1985, the same year he went to work for the Naval Surface Warfare Command as a civilian. There’s much more to the story at the link – including a butt-load of unanswered questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
