D.C. Couple Is Indicted on Charges of Spying for Cuba

By: Micah Bacheller
A couple that worked for the American state department was indicted on charges of spying for the Cuban government for the past 30 years. Walter and Gwendolyn Myers, both in their mid 70's, were arrested yesterday, just one day after Cuba was re-admitted to the OAS, which is trying to amend relations among the countries in the Americas. They were charged with conspiracy to act as illegal agents of the Cuban government. Just in his last year working at the state department, Mr. Myers had seen over 200 highly classified intelligence reports from Cuba. The FBI poised as being Cuban officials and caught the Myers in action.
This is extremely ironic, because it happens a day after Cuba is being re-integrated into the Americas political agenda. To think that there were (probably still are) Cuban agents and spy's lurking around looking for intelligence is pretty scary, even 20 years after the fall of the Soviet block. Hopefully with this new openness of the Cubans throughout America, there will be less spies to worry about.
