Cuban Spies? You Gotta Be Kidding
Turns out a couple in their 70’s has been charged by the Justice Dept. for spying for Cuba. According to the NYTimes:
Mr. Myers began working as a contract instructor at the State Department in 1977 and rose to the position of senior analyst with top-secret security clearance, specializing in European affairs. He retired from the department in 2007.
In the indictment, the Justice Department said that Mr. Myers examined some 200 intelligence reports that dealt with Cuba in 2006 and 2007, many of them classified or top-secret reports that were unrelated to his own duties at the State Department.
The NYTimes article says money wasn’t their motivation, it was their “bitterness toward American Imperialism”. Folks, put down the Cold War era spy novels, its over.
