Reply #17: So actually American taxpayers were paying some of these Cuban "exiles"

[Judi Lynn]

to spy and inform on OTHER Cuban "exiles" in the states, as well as any Americans close to them.

Some of them were doing exactly the same thing back in Cuba. I've heard many of them worked for Fulgencio Batista.

Here's another "exile" who worked for the C.I.A., Ricardo "Monkey" Morales, from Miami:

It is also a crime to cover up criminal acts, but there are innumerable examples of instances in which the CIA and the FBI conspired to interfere with the criminal prosecution of drug dealers, murderers, and assassins. In the death of Letellier, mentioned earlier, the FBI and the CIA refused to cooperate with the prosecution of the DINA agents who murdered Letellier (Dinges and Landau, 1980: 208-209). Those agencies were also involved in the cover-up of the criminal activities of a Cuban exile, Ricardo (Monkey) Morales. While an employee of the FBI and the CIA, Morales planted a bomb on an Air Cubana flight from Venezuela, which killed 73 people. The Miami police confirmed Morales’ claim that he was acting under orders from the CIA (Lernoux, 1984: 188). In fact, Morales, who was arrested for overseeing the shipment of 10 tons of marijuana, admitted to being a CIA contract agent who conducted murders, bombings, and assassinations. He was himself killed in a bar after he made public his work with the CIA and the FBI.

Interesting factoid: His ex-wife worked at the Miami Herald.

Oh, yeah. It looks like El Mono was one of the "grunts" who did a lot of the dirty work which was concocted by other, "higher-up" criminal "exiles" or CIA geniuses.

On edit:
I just remembered reading the first part of the trial happening BEFORE the link I posted above, and the government attorney questioning Morales had a hell of a time trying to get Morales to tell them his true address. I just read today, for the first time, in my first link in this post, that someone really caught up with him and murdered him. The impression left from what was said in the trial transcript preceding the link I posted was that he feared Orlando Bosch would have him killed. Really creepy.
