FYI: Ms. Montes is the 45-year-old daughter of Puerto Rican parents and was born on a U.S. military base in Germany. In 1979 she earned a degree in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia and in 1988 she finished a master's degree at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. In 1985 she began working as a junior analyst at the DIA, focusing on Nicaragua. She became a Cuba analyst in 1992 but reportedly worked for Cuba as far back as 1985.

Yes. I was wondering when and where and why she became a Communist. It's unlikely that she picked it up as an army brat in Germany. Most likely, she listened to the academic marxists at the University of Virginia and Johns Hopkins. These phony intellectuals spout a lot of garbage, but it turns more sinister when one of their students gets into the Defense Intelligence Agency.

I would be less concerned with the report on Cuba than with the possibility that she passed on secrets and betrayed American agents to Castro. Even without her knowing the names, the very fact that the US knew certain information might give these agents away.

How many more such leftist traitors are in our intelligence agencies, from George Tenet on down?
