Perhaps a bit OT, but you're dead wrong about Che. He was a mass murderer, and I'd treat someone with a framed picture of him with the same suspicion I'd reserve for someone with a Stalin or Hitler portrait.

The point he was making is that Che isn't a widely admired figure in U.S. intelligence circles.

Yes. I'm left-of-center (through probably right-of-HN as I perceive it) and also find Che to be an odious figure.
