Republican Sen. Jeff Flake says the U.S. has found no evidence that American diplomats in Havana were the victims of attacks with an unknown weapon.

Flake, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member and a longtime leading advocate of detente with Cuba, met Friday with high-ranking Cuban officials including Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and officials from the Interior Ministry, which oversees domestic security and works with foreign law-enforcement agencies.

The Cubans told Flake the FBI has told them that, after four trips to Cuba, its agents have found no evidence that mysterious illnesses suffered by U.S. diplomats were the result of attacks.

Flake told The Associated Press on Saturday morning that classified briefings from U.S. officials have left him with no reason to doubt the Cuban account, although he declined to discuss the contents of those briefings. …

wtf is Flakey doing in the middle of this issue??? Why is he speaking with a hostile foreign govt on behalf of US govt issues? He is not the State Dept.

He is just a lame duck minor league junior senator.

I know one of the victims. Actually a tourist who stayed in one of target hotels. The State Department is tracking a long list of victims. Current thinking is that it is not sonic but uhf radio wave type of device. Like sticking your head in a microwave. Probably a bugging device.

Arizona is one of my favorite states. I love visiting with all the amazing natural beauty and wonderful people. But how in the world did one state end up with two of the most whacked out senators is beyond me! Sheesh....

Our nickname for ourselves is “Zonies”. That may be a clue there.

What is it with Arizona that produces such rapid anti-American creatures such as Flake and McCain? Heat? Lack of water? Aliens?

I wouldn’t believe ANYTHING that comes out of Flake’s mouth.

In the 1980s the Soviets were charged with using microwave techniques on the U.S. Embassy. Several diplomats suffered the consequence. The damage was underplayed but it was thought the US threatened massive retaliation if the Soviets continued the attack.

I’ve started thinking that too.

It’s more that their Soviet era spy gear is leaking unintended EM radiation.

The Copper State once sent great statesmen like Barry Goldwater and Paul Fannin to Washington.

Because there is more than adequate evidence of the sonic experiences, Flake is only denying that Cuba initiated them as attacks. He is a Cuban government supporter.

That makes him lower than a snake’s belly, an anti-American propagandist of the first order.
