Ana Montes, who is regarded as "one of the most damaging spies," has been released from a prison in Texas.
Montes, now 65, worked for the US Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, as the top analyst on Cuba during the Cold War. Washington knew her as the "Queen of Cuba" for her insights into Fidel Castro's communist regime.

Cuban agent freed in US to lobby for fellow agents [barf]

HAVANA (AP) — The first member of a Cuban spy ring to walk free from prison in the United States thanked islanders Friday for their support during his 13 years behind bars and vowed to keep pushing for the release of the other four.
Rene Gonzalez, a 55-year-old dual U.S.-Cuban citizen who left a federal lockup in the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 7, spoke through a home video that was broadcast and rebroadcast on Cuban state television and government-run websites.
“It is truly difficult to address people who are so loved and who you feel a part of through a camera, but I had to communicate with you and say how grateful I am for everything,” Gonzalez said.

“Montes had no prior connection to Cuba; her parents were Puerto Rican, and her father was a U. S. Army officer,” Carmichael writes in True Believer. “She was born on a U. S. Army base in Germany and spent her high school years in Towson, Maryland—a home-grown agent if ever there was one.””

She is the one person I want to put a bullet in her skull for compromising what I was doing back in the day.

She was later charged with the offense and pleaded guilty, and was handed a 25-year prison sentence. She served 20 of those years and was released on January 6, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database. 1. There is a 15% reduction in Federal sentence for good time...... seems she got out early. Oh and on January 6th....... no message sent with that release date. Would be interesting to see who championed her early release!

The worst thing they could do is send her to live in Cuba. I would support that.

I’m always fascinated by the backstory of these spy cases. Interesting article.
