Quote

I was deposed in association with a case involving the Golden Venture, a ship which smuggled Chinese aliens into the United States about eight or nine ago.

The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.

I'm very disappointed by the mature-democracy countries. I was ousted by a coup d'etat.

Then I received support from the Government to compete for my country, and to represent Cuba in competition.

I was a federal prosecutor when we exercised powers under the Patriot Act or under the FISA court.

I was an Army intelligence agent and a veteran during the Cold War, assigned to West Germany. I was the chairman of the National Commission on Homeland Security and Terrorism for the United States for five years. I was a person who has dealt extensively with these homeland security issues. I was a governor during the 9/11 attack.

I never staged a coup. They picked me up. Like I say, they forced me to become premier, maybe hoping that by that way, they send me to the electric chair.

I was a case officer, otherwise known as an operations officer. My role was to go out and convince Al Qaeda operatives to instead work with us as well as to convince people and officials in foreign governments to work on behalf of the U.S. government secretly.

But always I was a private citizen whose activities in government or political party were appointive.
