Mr. Gross Was Not A Spy, Mr. Gross Was Not An Intelligence Agent.” “First of all, Mr. Gross should not even be incarcerated in Cuba. Mr. Gross was not a spy, Mr. Gross was not an intelligence agent, Mr. Gross worked for a development group that was helping Cubans principally in their small Jewish community in Cuba, to have access to the internet. And Mr. Gross, in our view, is being held without justification and has been detained already far too long. So, there should be a decision by the Cuban government to release him, and we would like to see that happen as soon as possible.” [CNN, Youtube, 5/9/12] Secretary Clinton: “We Are Well Aware That The Cuban Government Wants To See The Release Of Their Intelligence Agents, Five Cuban Spies Who Were Lawfully Arrested, Tried, And Convicted For Espionage.” “Now we are well aware that the Cuban government wants to see the release of their intelligence agents, five Cuban spies who were lawfully arrested, tried, and convicted for espionage. One has already served his sentence in prison, he’s continuing to finish out his parole, another will be up for parole, all within the regular order of our system, a system that provides due process, rule of law protections, does not have a record of arbitrary arrests and detentions like the Cuban government does.” [CNN, Youtube, 5/9/12] Secretary Clinton On Imprisonment Of Alan Gross: “I Would Like To See That Resolved.” [America With Jorge Ramos, Fusion, 7/29/14] SECRETARY CLINTON DID NOT THINK CUBA WAS READY TO JOIN THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES DURING HER TENURE AS SECRETARY OF STATE Secretary Clinton On Cuba Not Being Ready To Join The Organization Of American States: “We Do Look Forward To The Day When Cuba Can Join The OAS...
