Obama Appoints Alleged Cuban Spy as Ambassador to El Salvador

The White House and the President have supposedly appointed a former director of La Raza as ambassador to El Salvador.

Mari Del Carmen Aponte was once nominated by President Clinton as ambassador to the Dominican Republic, but was withdrawn for allegedly “co-habiting” with Cuban intelligence and being recruited to become a Cuban spy.

National Review Online:

The revelations caused her nomination [from Clinton] to be quietly withdrawn … whereupon she reportedly refused to answer questions from the FBI (saying that since she was no longer seeking an executive branch slot, she no longer needed to cooperate in a background security check). Now, despite that debacle, and heedless of the controversies stoked by Van Jones, Kevin Jennings, et al., Obama wants to press ahead with Aponte.

Aponte was also once director of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education fund.
