Seriously?

Quote: "While in Cuba, Ardin worked with the Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White), a feminist anti-Castro group.

Professor Michael Seltzer pointed out that the group is led by Carlos Alberto Montaner who is reportedly connected to the CIA."

That's like five degrees of Kevin Bacon...

I can't even find any sources confirming that Carlos Alberto Montaner leads Las Damas de Blanco, including in pro-Castro sites.

Five degrees? I count two.

Edit: That's three edges between her and the CIA, and frankly Ardin to Seltzer is one, making the count two. One to Seltzer, one to the CIA.

If "reportedly" doesn't cut it for you, then you must think the CIA is the world's most incompetent intelligence agency because they evidently have connections to nobody at all!

Ardin -> Organisation -> It's boss -> CIA. 4 (+ infinity for "reportedly connected").

I'm actually assuming he's "reportedly connected" because he's the boss of an organisation whose leader is "reportedly connected".
