Communist spy in the State Department sentenced to life

This is pretty incredible:

A State Department employee (and part-time professor at Johns Hopkins SAIS program) plead guilty to spying for Cuba for the last 30 years. I think this story actually broke a while ago, but I'm linking to this article just because it's interesting to get more of the details (such as his traveling to Cuba for dinner with Fidel, and his constant preparations to sail his yacht to Cuba if he was found out).

Very Tom Clancy-ish story. (Whatever happened to hanging traitors, btw?)
