State Department Alleges Cuba Infiltrated U.S. Politics Through Left-Wing Groups
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a new report, the State Department has accused the Cuban government
of waging a "sustained campaign of subversion against the United
States." The report claims Cuba has backed a number of groups in the
United States, including the National Lawyers Guild, Code Pink, Pastors
for Peace and the National Network on Cuba.

In a statement, Code Pink said, "This latest attempt by the State
Department is just one of many politically motivated witch hunts
designed to silence antiwar voices who dare to challenge U.S.
militarism. It's about justifying even more aggression against Cuba
while turning advocates for peace into suspects." The 100-page report
also includes quotes from earlier New York Times reporting, including a
reference to Amy Goodman and Democracy Now!
