Where Else Are the Castro Spies?

by Humberto Fontova

Last week, the FBI arrested a well-born State Department intelligence analyst and his wife for conspiracy to commit espionage for the Castro regime. David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security, described the case against Walter “Kendall” Myers and his wife Gwendolyn as “incredibly serious,” and Secretary of State Clinton called it an “outrageous violation,” while ordering a top-to-bottom review of the State Department's security procedures.

“Cuban spies can be especially difficult to catch,” lament U.S. intelligence officials, “because the Cuban government specializes in recruiting ''true believers'' rather than agents who are out to make money.” Walter Kendall Myers was a perfect case in point. It took thirty years to catch him.

“I have concluded that we should attempt to achieve normalization of our relations with Cuba,” read Presidential Directive NSC-6 issued on March 16, 1977 by Jimmy Carter. The directive, which was declassified only in May 2002, continues:“To this end, we should begin direct and confidential talks with representatives of the Cuban government."

This Democratic “opening” to Castro set the stage for Myers' spy career.

I’m retired from the Department of Defense. I was always concerned about the number of my fellow employees, who were all in sensitive positions requiring a minimum Secret clearance, who were bona fide America-hating lefties. This all seemed to become more prevalent during the Clinton Administration.

Where Else Are There Cuban Spies?"

Go over to foggy bottom and throw a brick, you'll hit one.

Whoever they are, they should give the money back.
