The first paragraph of this WaPo piece sums it up:
He was a courtly State Department intelligence analyst from a prominent family who loved to sail and peruse the London Review of Books. Occasionally, he would voice frustration with U.S. policies, but to his liberal neighbors in Northwest D.C. it was nothing out of the ordinary. "We were all appalled by the Bush years," one said.So he was a typical lib upset with the Bush policies over the last eight years, how many of those are there?
But wait, the guy has been indicted as a spy for Fidel Castro:
What Walter Kendall Myers kept hidden, according to documents unsealed in court Friday, was a deep and long-standing anger toward his country, an anger that allegedly made him willing to spy for Cuba for three decades.See that nice little piece of bias thrown in by the WaPo. They mention that the guy was "appalled" the policies laid out by Bush but he started spying against his nation and for Cuba during the Carter administration so it's just not jibing all that well. He began his espionage activities while we were suffering through the most socialist presidency in history (since surpassed by the present CINC) and the guy didn't think we were communist enough.
"I have become so bitter these past few months. Watching the evening news is a radicalizing experience," he wrote in his diary in 1978, referring to what he described as greedy U.S. oil companies, inadequate health care and "the utter complacency of the oppressed" in America. On a trip to Cuba, federal law enforcement officials said in legal filings, Myers found a new inspiration: the communist revolution.
Let's flesh this out for a sec: the guy was pissed about "greedy oil companies", health care and the lack of radicalism in the "oppressed" so he decided to make it better by spying for Castro? I call bullshit on this. He did it partly for ideological reasons but he did it for money as well as I'm sure we'll find out.
Plain and simply the guy is a fucking traitor and should be locked up next to Robert Hansen at the Colorado Supermax where he can be neighbors with Ramzi Yousef and Ted Kazinsky. There were two Democrats and the start of a third when he spied so the hatred of conservative policies excuse doesn't fly even an iota.
The Post should be ashamed of themselves for writing a puff piece on a traitor but of course they won't. Liberals will always back other liberals when it comes to treason and this is no different. Liberals hate America and the principles we were founded on and I have no hesitation in saying that the majority of the State Department leads the charge. They have a long history of protecting spies against America in their midst. They still believe Alger Hiss was innocent in spite of the myriad evidence showing the guy was on the Soviet dole for years and I expect nothing different from them this time.
