CIA Employee was Burglar and Panty Sniffer

With employees like this at the CIA is it any wonder that they got the information wrong about WMDs in Iraq? George Dalmas was burglarizing homes in the affluent neighborhoods of Langley and McLean. Among some very valuable items, he also swiped over a thousand pairs of panties.

From NBC4 here:

A CIA employee for nearly 20 years admitted breaking into 10 homes near the spy agency’s headquarters about a year ago and taking valuables and other items.

George C. Dalmas III, 48, pleaded guilty Wednesday to the burglaries, which each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Dalmas, who had no prior criminal record, has been fired from his CIA job as a midlevel administrator.

During the daylight burglaries in the McLean area, Dalmas took valuable items including Camp David cuff links, Cartier hoop earrings, a Tiffany gold scarab ring and a sapphire-diamond necklace. But the most curious objects from Dalmas’ burglary expedition were less valuable — women’s panties.

Search warrants list 1,074 pairs of women’s undergarments that he stole. Many were stuffed in shopping bags and a filing cabinet at his home in Falls Church.

Okay, let’s do the math. He hit ten homes. He netted over a thousand panties. This means, that on average, the women in these homes had over 100 pairs of panties each! That seems like quite a bit to me. He must have taken every pair he could find in the homes. Ick.
