Bolton and Castro

If anyone has any doubts about Bolton being a good man and the right man for the post of US UN Ambassador, read what Castro thinks of him and why:

They’d better watch him! This Mr Bolton is a Liar! A Cynic!--a Gangster!" The rest of Castro's speech came mostly from Newsweek and the Washington Post.

Fidel Castro has good reason to fear and loath John Bolton. The entire brouhaha in the media and Congress over Bolton's "bullying" of intelligence officials stems from his concern that some of Clinton's Intelligence appointees (still in positions of influence), namely Fulton Armstrong and Christian Westermann, were heavily influenced by a Castro spy and were parroting "intelligence estimates" authored by this spy and planted by Castro.

On September 20, 2001, Ms. Montes was arrested by the FBI as a Castro spy and charged with "Conspiracy to Commit Espionage. A year after her arrest Montes was duly convicted and today, after a plea bargain, she escaped the Rosenberg's fate and serves a 25 year prison sentence.

If it weren’t tragic, it would be funny. Read the rest.
