Ana Montes: Traitor and Bad Person?

“Three years ago, a former staff member of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, was released from federal prison after serving around 20 years. Her crime? Spying for Cuba. For some 16 years, Montez had been secretly providing classified information to officials in Cuba that she acquired as part of her federal position. Needless to say, when she was finally caught, federal officials, especially those within the national-security state part of the government, condemned her for being a traitor and a bad person. At her sentencing hearing, Montes made it clear that her spying for Cuba had nothing to do with money. Instead, her spying, she stated, was intended to help Cuba defend itself from acts of aggression by the U.S. government, especially the national-security state part of the federal government (i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA).” (04/15/26)
