Rombom also told the mother-in-law that her daughter was in danger because of the informant and that he was afraid for the safety of their daughter, the government says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>1 less speaker for HOPE next time then I guess?<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#New468--><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.washingtonpost.com\/securityfix\/2006\/07\/fbi_arrest_private_eye_speaker.html\">Security Fix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad] It turns out yesterday one of the planned speakers at HOPE Number 6 was arrested on Saturday and is being charged by the FBI.
