Born 1967
Nationality Canada
Occupation Counter-security official
Known for Fired for disobeying orders, and continuing a friendship with an informant.

Theresa Russell was an operative with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service since she was 23, before she was fired in 2002.[1][2] She was fired for failing to end contact with an informant, who had given her gifts, and shown interest in her, after her marraige dissolved.

After she was fired Sullivan sought redress through the Labor Relations Board.[1] The identity of the informant remains secret. Sullivan's identity was also to be kept secret, but the Labor Relations Board report was public.

Mohamed Harkat, Abdullah Almalki, and several other individuals who fell under CSIS's suspicion, question whether Sullivan's relationship had tainted their cases.[1][3]
