Fidel Castro's sister: "I worked with CIA in Cuba"
Source: Reuters

The younger sister of Fidel and Raul Castro, Juanita Castro, collaborated with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency against her brothers' rule in Cuba before going into exile in Miami in 1964, she said on Sunday.

Juanita Castro, 76, who has not spoken to either of her brothers for more than four decades, made the revelation to the Spanish-language TV channel Univision-Noticias 23 on the eve of the publication of her memoirs about Fidel and Raul Castro.

The book in Spanish entitled "Fidel and Raul, My Brothers, the Secret History," co-written with Mexican journalist Maria Antonieta Collins, is being published on Monday.

After initially supporting Fidel Castro's 1959 Revolution that toppled dictator Fulgencio Batista in Cuba, Juanita Castro said she became disillusioned by the way her elder brother was executing opponents and moving the island toward communism.

1. Is she in hiding or protective custody?
It's not wise to throw stuff around like that.

10. I think that's the point of the joke.
It makes light of Griese's ignorance.

15. Important things...
hmm, I guess the sister of Hitler was really jealous. I suppose the things he accomplished were "important" after all. Who knows, maybe Fidel's sister is nothing more than an opportunist, but that pretty much puts her in league with her brothers, but it has yet to be seen if she has killed anyone who opposed her.
