What we know (including some new stuff not reported elsewhere)
To: the Real fifi
“Last week a Department of State retiree and his wife were arrested and charged with spying for Cuba for thirty years”
But, But, But my local fishwrap/firestarter story from AP said the reason the Myer's sold the US out to Cuba was because “they were appalled by the Bush Administration policies".
Thirty years? 1979-2009. Carter, Reagan, GHW Bush, Clinton, GW Bush.
Damn, them folks must have had ESPN or sumthin. AP sure missed a big story there.

Fascinating article. I'm sure the State Dept is absolutely stuffed with people like this, too. Some probably work for Fidel, some for the Muslim Nutcase of the Month, etc. State was full of spies back in the 30s and 40s. The interesting thing, if you read Whittaker Chambers, for example, is that a lot of the most devoted Communists were from fine old families and old money. Very strange, but I guess it's not rational. This is from the end of the article:
Only one thing is certain. To the end of their spying career, the Myers' were unrepentant and still in love with Fidel.
KENDALL MYERS continued: "It's forever. . . You know, it's like Fidel . . . It's forever."

Everything one hears about Fidel suggests that he is a brilliant and charismatic leader. He exudes the sense of seriousness and purposefulness that gives the Cuban socialist system its unique character. The revolution is moral without being moralistic. Fidel has lifted the Cuban people out of the degrading and oppressive conditions which characterized pre-revolutionary Cuba. He has helped the Cubans to save their own souls. He is certainly one of the great political leaders of our time.Democrats. Democrats love to have a politician that can be their 'king'.
