An investigation by Accuracy in Media unmasks one of the newest members of Castro's "diplomatic" corp in Washington, D.C., Juan Jacomino.

Jacomino was previously a "journalist" with Global Radio News, a network of free-lance journalist that provides reporting to networks such as ABC, NPR, Al-Jazeera and even Fox News.

Thus, he's served as a "correspondent" for various Cuba-related stories on those networks.

And now -- surprise -- Jacomino serves as Second Secretary of Castro's Interests Section in Washington, D.C., where he oversees "solidarity" activities.

Also, make sure to watch the clip below (or here) of an impromptu interview with Jacomino.

For those heralding Castro's economic "reforms" and supposed creation of a "private sector" -- focus on the 1:50 mark.

When asked specifically about the upcoming VI Communist Party Congress in Cuba and the regime's supposed move towards market reforms, he answers:

"That's a gross overstatement... Cuba's changes are far from free enterprise, far from a market economy."

Straight from the horse's mouth.
