It probably took 30 years to catch them because the State Dept. is so full of Leftist traitors that this pair didn’t seem out of place, and the other pinkos wouldn’t turn them in anyway even if they publicly said “we’re spies.”

Why did it take 30 years? I would bet they were low-level agents, relatively inactive, who didn't receive orders except through the Cuban numbers stations, and who didn't provide any real intelligence to Cuba.

30 years.....lets see: neither Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, nor Bush 2 admins could catch these old Trotskyite, lefty, hippy amateur spies. Pitiful.

Any pictures of what these turds looked like?

They'd look right at home strolling around Harvard Square.

Unwritten, but assumed to be the NYT’s closing line: “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

They can now come out into the sunshine and get immunity from Obama.

Senator Joseph McCarthy had all these anti-American infiltrator’s pegged a long time ago. Think how many Soviets he outted and was totally vindicated by the Venona Project. Of course the liberal elites will never let that bag out of the bag...

“liberals” = communists/socialists = demise of America

Typical. In Whittaker Chambers’ book Witness, he marvels at the fact that most of the most hardened Communist spies in the State Dept were the comfortable, Harvard-educated products of old New England families with old money.

Well, they sure got careless. They just accepted someone else waltzing into the picture saying they were from Cuba without any continuity from their known contacts. If you’re going to play spy vs. spy, you don’t do stupid things like that.

(Glad, of course, they got caught.)
