Ana Montes, a Cuban spy who gave up American secrets for 17 years while working for the Defense Intelligence Agency, was released from prison Friday.
Montes, 65, served more than 21 years of her 25-year sentence. She did her time at FMC Carswell, a women’s prison in Fort Worth, Texas.
Montes was arrested in September 2001, just 10 days after the attacks on the World Trade Center. By that time, her bosses were already suspicious of her, and they didn’t want to risk her leaking the plans for the invasion of Afghanistan.
