Fidel may be Part of Terror Campaign

At 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 14, Ana Belen Montes, a senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),
walked into a public telephone booth outside Washington's National Zoo and made two calls to pager numbers
later traced by federal agents to Cuba's Directorate of General Intelligence (DGI).
She already had compromised the identities of CIA agents, revealed U.S. military secrets and exposed the contents of classified files.
But, as Montes sent repeated signals to her DGI handlers during the days immediately
following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the FBI was given orders to act.


The Sept. 21 arrest of a Fidel Castro mole deeply burrowed into the U.S. defense establishment at such a moment
— even as weapons-grade anthrax was being mailed to media and congressional targets
— raises serious questions about a possible Cuban connection with the international terrorist conspiracy
targeting the United States. Concerns about Cuba's continuing threat to U.S. national security were voiced
recently by the DIA director, Vice Adm. Tom Wilson.
Before entering a closed session of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
he told reporters that "Cuba could initiate information warfare or computer-network attacks that could seriously disrupt our military."

As Russia and the United States try to close ranks against the common threat posed by Muslim terrorist networks in Central Asia,
say intelligence insiders, Castro's growing ties with radical Islamic movements have become a source of worry for both governments.
During his recent tour of Syria, Libya, Iran, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia, the Cuban dictator told a cheering crowd
of Muslim students at the University of Tehran, "Together we will bring America to its knees."

Think you will see this on CBS?

Two well-known, powerful left wing dictators.

One is an ego-obssesed, megalomaniacal leader of a large leftist bulwark collective.

The other is Fidel.

[Diogenesis]

Thanks for the laugh on an otherwise grim article.

No

When Cubas turn comes up, at least we won't have to worry about securing any forward bases.......

Was West Nile Virus Castro's Prelude to Anthrax?

I've said for some time that Cuba should be the target of Phase II of the war on terrorism. Let's see anyone try to spin that into a "War on Islam."

[Diogenesis]

"Carlos Wotzkow, narrates how he was fired from his work as an ornithologist at the Institute of Zoology
in the early 1980s. The reason, among others, his objecting to a Castro order creating the
Biological Front, an effort to develop viruses that could be carried by "host" birds
or other means into the US."

Great link. Thank you.

Cuba is the great unfinished business of the march toward freedom in our hemisphere. That march must not stop.

I don't doubt that every terror organization in the world, including our own home grown ones, is/has/will plan/carry out terror attacks in the US.

It is easier for them to blame America for their problems than to admit they are the problem.

[Freebird Forever]

I've said for some time that Cuba should be the target of Phase II of the war on terrorism.

It works for me.

And I don't foresee any problem raising volunteers.

[sidegunner]

Now Cuba wants to buy food forcash, only if Cuban ships pick it up in the U.S. I wonder why castro wants to do that when he can trade with any other nation and they will deliver?

[TLBSHOW]

of course he is he is a communist terrorist. Blow the whole island up!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Attack Cuba? Hmm... we wouldn't have to boycott them anymore. The Elian problem would be solved. And besides, if Cuba is indeed part of the terrorist network, they need to be dealt with anyway. I love happy endings.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Comrade Rather looks rather happy in that affectionate embrace. And Castro has that knowing look. It's love.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I'm glad Rather wasn't wearing a Cuban flag on his lapel. He must stay aloof and objective.

[swampfox98]

That picture was in the back of my mind as I read this story. Thanks, for reminding us, although who needs reminding that Dan Rather is only one of the many useful idiots in the US Press who give aid and comfort to the Left?

Interesting site for other article relevant to this too.

Bush would be a one term president if we went in and took out Castro. Too close to home. Would piss off too many people again in fear of hurting way too many civilians.It would be a mess. If links lead back to Cuba my money is on us then resorting to the table instead of the battlefield.Too much money and too many nerves would be wrangled. I am totally all for wiping up the pile of crap and his communist army. But I really believe we are just going to wait it out until he dies, then say we hope that the person who takes over will make the right decision and move towards democracy.

Look for this to become Bill Clinton's next pet project if it does link back. He will want to take some kind of credit for breaking down a wall of communism in his mind and help all of the poor and starving children in Cuba.

I will never forget the defection of a Cuban mig that flew right into South Florida about 9yrs ago...UNDETECTED by our radar. I think the military is going to have its hands full with the middle east to deal with Cuba.
