fbi was trying to identity a cuban spy who was possibly in the d.c. area they knew a few did bits of information about the spy but they had no idea who this person was, where this person worked. that's a problem because what they were talking about is the possibility that there was a cuban agent with access to classified information. it does not pose a military threat to the united states. the intelligence of cuban operations is that the intelligence take is shared by cuba with other countries. he shares information with iran, china, russia, even venezuela, north korea. what makes cuba important is that it's the world's biggest intelligence trafficker. and i say that in the connection of the sale or a barter of u.s. secrets is now one of the central engines of the caan economy, whether it's political secrets, economic secrets, military secrets, every country has interest in the united states. and cuban, their ability to steal secrets, they outperform almost every nation in the world.
