Watching her feeble intellect in action attempting to explain the Cuban reality is downright embarrassing.

Regardless of the stories being peddled by the haters it's plausible that Coll was the target of Cuban espionage efforts...much more plausible than him being a turncoat of some sort. <BR/><BR/>As for Bardach - her piece in Slate is probably her best effort. It should be noted that her seething hatred for any Cuban or Cuban-American who doesn't lick Fidel's boots is well-known. I have never heard or read her saying anything even remotely generous of someone who supports the embargo. To her it is also an irrational hatred of all things Fidel...ironically she is the other side of the coin.theCardinalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02516626925971733209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-11265094464278251902008-08-04T10:40:00.000-04:002008-08-04T10:40:00.000-04:00Anon from 11:50, sweating bullets, thanks for asking.<BR/><BR/>Anon from 4:11, that’s an interesting thought, but the line Simmons is peddling now, and that others insinuated when the case was alive, was that he was engaged in espionage.

For reasons known only to himself, he either did not recognize it as such and remained involved in the effort, or he did recognize it as such and remained involved in the effort.
