Queen of Cuba Dethroned
by: Malcolm A. Kline, January 04, 2008
The world is too much with us late and soon, as William Wordsworth pointed out, and so, from the Cold War to the War on Terror, are communist spies. Such operatives are not, as most professors would have us believe, a figment of our imagination.
“There are lots of people who have committed espionage,” says Scott W. Carmichael, author of True Believer: Inside the Investigation and Capture of Ana Montes, Cuba’s Master Spy. “The numbers are staggering.”
Carmichael spoke at the Heritage Foundation last month. “If you opened full field investigations on all the known Cuban agents in Washington, D. C. and Miami, you would need the full Washington, D. C. field office,” Carmichael says of the FBI’s monumental task.
The senior security and counterintelligence investigator for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Carmichael works with the FBI regularly. “They have been kicking our behinds in the intelligence game for more than four decades,” Carmichael says of our adversaries in Havana.
Carmichael is donating whatever profits his book may make to the family of an American soldier in El Salvador who may have lost his life due to a breach of U. S. intelligence perpetrated by the Cuban DGI. Another irony, or is it? These agents, from the McCarthy years, when intellectuals supposedly lived in fear, to the modern age, are sometimes mentored right on college campuses.

Why would she turn?
Money? Prestige?
The chance to "stick it to The Man?"
WTF cares; shoot her.
She did not take any money a spys don’t want attention.
Because she is a spoiled Beltway brat, like plenty of people here in the DC area.
M.I.C.E
Money
Ideology
Conscience
Ego
It's ALWAYS one of the above. Take your pick.
We can thank JFK for withdrawing U.S. air support from the Cuban exiles at the Bay of Pigs. Remember that when you are tempted to think of him as a “great anticommunist,” unlike his brother Chappaquiddick Ted.
There are probably many more like Ana Montes in the CIA. They could be the source of some of the leaks intended to sabotage the Bush Admin.’s antiterrorist operations.
No those are just the plain old Democrats.
Maybe, but how do you know? The leakers have never been identified. Besides, being a commie has never disqualified anyone from belonging to the Demonrat Party.
