Okay, this is bad. It seems that Cuba has had a very, very high-level spy in the US State Department for many years now.
A married couple was accused Friday of spying for Fidel Castro’s Cuba for 30 years while the husband was a top intelligence analyst at the State Department.
Walter Kendall Myers, known as “Agent 202″ to the Cubans, and his wife Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, “Agent 123″ and “E-634,” were nabbed at their home off Embassy Row following an undercover FBI sting.
They allegedly admitted their treachery spanned decades, U.S. officials said.
“It’s a serious compromise,” said one U.S. official, who compared it to the breaches by Pentagon spy-for-Cuba Ana Montes and FBI agent-turned-Russian spy Robert Hanssen.
Kendall Myers was recruited by Cuban spies in the Communist regime’s New York City mission in 1978 while he worked at State’s Arlington, Va., language school. The Ph.D. expert on Europe also taught at Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and George Washington Universities.
Myers is alleged to have basically sent everything – or darn near everything – State had to Cuba. He had total access to the State Department computer records on Fidel’s “worker’s paradise”.
One cheerful bit of sheer spin from the article:
Unlike CIA traitor Aldrich Ames, whose betrayal cost the lives of many U.S. “assets” in Russia, the Myerses are not believed to have gotten anyone killed.
Care to place a wager on that one?
Frankly, the details that Fox News is reporting show these two to be – well – dumb as a box of rocks. Yet they appear to have successfully spied for Fidel for three decades.
Really builds up that confidence about how good our government is at this stuff, doesn’t it?
Considering Fidel’s popularity among the intelligentsia, I’ll be surprised if these are the only ones.
If there is one spy at State there are a hundred. Who promoted him, placed him where he could do damage, guided him? State is a nest of commies.
