Is it just me that doesn’t get it or do we have serious gaps in our human intelligence collection in all agencies?
First it was a former senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Ana Belen Montes, who on September 21, 2001, was arrested and subsequently charged with Conspiracy to Commit Espionage for Cuba. Montes eventually pleaded guilty to spying, and in October, 2002, she was sentenced to a 25-year prison term followed by 5 years of probation. Montes was head of the Cuban desk at DIA.
Now we have Walter Kendal Myers and his wife Gwendolyn, who spied for Cuba for nearly 30 years. YES 30 YEARS.
Walter was a State Department analyst in the State Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), and he is the grandson of Alexander Graham Bell.
In July 2010, Walter Myers, Code named Agent 202 and his wife was Agent 123, who said that she found Fidel Castro to be the “…most …incredible statesman in… a hundred years, for goodness sakes,” were unrepentant. Walter got life and Gwendolyn got only 82 months. She can be out in four to five years.
They said that the highlight of their career was being flown to Cuba in 1995 for a four hour meeting with Fidel Castor. YES – 1995!
With Aldrich Ames at the CIA, Robert Hanssen at the FBI, Ana Montes at DIA, and now Walter Myers at State, one has to wonder what the Cubans have at the National Security Agency (NSA).
