The war in Afghanistan probably would have gone differently had this woman not been caught before she could tip the Cubans to our plans, which they surely would have shared with the Taliban, al Queda and others who hate America and are willing to pay or trade for our secrets.

According to Wikipedia,

"In a May 6, 2002 interview with CBS News, former Undersecretary of State John Bolton stated that an official 1998 U.S. government report with significant contributions by Montes concluded that Cuba did not represent a significant military threat to the United States or the region. Bolton alleged that because of Montes' espionage, it was not possible to exclude the possibility that the administration of former president Bill Clinton may have overlooked Cuba as a potential threat because of Montes' influence and the way she shaped her reporting at DIA."

What a despicable traitor ... chilling. I detest that we’re paying for her 3 square a day in a decent prison. She should be rotting in one like a Cuban prison.

Just thinking about what Cuba passed to Russia/Putin alone is cause for huge queasiness .. especially now with Castro so near the end.

Her twenty five year sentence was lenient.

Isn't this a ridiculous way to run an intel agency??? I thought that compartmentalization and "need to know" was supposed to be SOP all the way up to the top??

"Ana had at her fingertips, through our computer systems, instant and direct access to the US governments innermost secrets about just about every other nation on earth. It is an unimaginable amount of extremely sensitive information. A mountain of insider information. And Ana was in a position to give it all away. The true damage to national security, though, might be measured in terms of the compromise of such information not only to Cuba, but to Cuba's friends around the world. You see, we can imagine that Cuba shares information with her friends - with Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and the People's Republic of China, and others. Ana's information could easily have been spent by the government of Cuba like currency, shared with Cuba's friends in order to advance Cuba's own interests.

I am sure there are still spies in every level of our government....

One of the reasons the Dems dont like the Patriot Act.

...a number of people in her life questioned the government's employment of Ana Montes at all, given her views toward US government policy, and that a number of colleagues in the intelligence community expressed not surprise at her arrest but some sense of vindication of their own feelings and views about Ana Montes prior to the arrest ('I knew it! I told you so! I'm not surprised!)

That's exactly what I feel when I see almost any Liberal in government nowadays.

Two things that come to my mind.... Gorelick the madam Clinton wallbuilder, (yes I know this gal predates the Clintons), and Bolton mentioning something about a Cuban spy at his inquisition for UN appointment.

[yarddog]

The one thing which really bothers me about this whole affair is how easily her clear dislike of America was dismissed when she was early in her career (and apparently is still dismissed).

Anyone who is employed in a top secret capacity and is sympathetic to Communist Governments should automatically be under strong suspicion.

The Cuban government certainly knew what her opinions meant and was quick to use them to their advantage. They didn’t assume she was a good American, they went after her based on what was obvious.

I can only hope there’s a special place in Hell for this bitch.
