| Castro Calls US Spy Case 'Ridiculous' |
| 2009-06-08 |
| Former Cuban President Fidel Castro says the case of the two Americans accused of spying for Cuba is "ridiculous." In an essay posted on a Cuban Web site, Mr. Castro neither confirmed nor denied the veracity of the spy charges brought by U.S. authorities against a former State Department official with a top secret security clearance, and his wife. U.S. officials have accused the couple of spying for Cuba for nearly 30 years and meeting with then-Cuban President Castro in 1995. Mr. Castro says he does not recall meeting the couple. Walter Kendall Myers and Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers pleaded not guilty Friday in federal court in Washington to charges, including conspiracy to act as illegal agents of the Cuban government and to communicate classified information to authorities in Havana. The charges carry sentences of up to 20 years in prison. |

| #2 More supernormal. Another Eastern Establishment Egalitarian bites the dust for no financial gain but only to show sympathy with Marxism to the detriment of his own country. How many more are around in the DoS? I'd say hundreds if not thousands especially the Ivy League blue blood type with 38 foot sailing yachts and neighbor who gratuitously mention how it has been under Bush when this guy started during Carter's administration. |
