    A 38-year-old counter-intelligence official seen lecturing on a secret internet video about the involvement of the U.S. with bloggers has been identified as Eduardo Fontes Suárez.
    He religiously follows dissident bloggers likeYoani Sánchez on Twitter and Facebook.
     He is described as a computer engineer who joined the Interior Ministry’s counter-intelligence section after graduation from a La Habana  high school  for the children of Cuba’s ruling elites.
 FOR DETAILS:

   The 53-minute secret government video posted on the internet claimed that dissident bloggers like Yoani Sanchez (pictured) and others are part of a U.S. plan to overthrow the Castro regime.

   It also alleged a secret U.S. effort in 2008 to create wi-fi points giving up to 250 computers access to the Internet through satellite telephones, free of government controls.

"...the State media showed caution in dealing with the news from North Africa. They administered tablespoon-sized doses of the events, without dwelling on the reasons that drove a people to put a limit on the personal mandate of an octogenarian."
