[Marxism] Cuban spies very difficult to find





AP sources: Cuban spies very difficult to find

By PAMELA HESS

WASHINGTON (AP) â Hunting spies is difficult, but Cuban spies are notoriously
hard to detect, former senior intelligence officials said a day after an
American husband and wife were indicted on charges of spying for Cuba.

Walter Kendall Myers and his wife Gwendolyn of Washington were arrested
Thursday after a three-year investigation that began before Myers' retirement
from the State Department in 2007. They had been spying for Havana for 30
years, according to the U.S. government.

Investigations like this typically take years to come together because they
usually turn on small pieces of information, and Cuban spies often leave few
traces. Cuban intelligence specializes in recruiting "true believers" rather
than agents who are out to make money, these officals said. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Myers appears to be one of the true believers. He praised Castro in a personal
journal he wrote in 1978 as a "brilliant and charismatic leader" who is "one of
the great political leaders of our time." And he called the United States
government "exploiters" who regularly murdered Cuban revolutionary leaders.
