The anti-American Marxist front group Code Pink has announced that they are canceling their planned trip to Cuba this month as a result of pressure by the Bush administration.
Code Pink, which calls itself a peace group, had timed the trip to Fidel Castro's communist paradise to celebrate the anniversary of the success of his violent revolution this New Year's Eve. Plans for the trip included visits with local neighborhood groups that spy on fellow Cubans and report any counter-revoultionary behavior (like wanting freedom) to the Castro regime.
The United States has maintained a strict travel embargo against Cuba which Code Pink was proudly vowing to violate.
However, the Treasury Department recently sent 'cease and desist' letters to Code Pink, its parent organization Global Exchange and some trip participants warning them of the legal repercussions of violating the travel ban: fines of up to one million dollars and ten years in prison.
As a result, Code Pink says several of the participants decided to cancel their plans to stand up against the Bush administration in solidarity with Fidel Castro.
Code Pink said those cancellations denied them the "safety in numbers" they felt they needed--whatever that means.
Bottom line, Code Pink is too cowardly to really stand up to President Bush, but brave enough to protest wounded American soldiers outside military hospitals.

You're welcome. My eyes are still burning from visiting the website.
Especially now that they handed him his balls.
Or Harry Belafonte traveling to meet up with Castro in Cuba.
Is he breakdancing? *giggle*
BTTT
LOL
Poor Code Pink. I feel so sorry for those slimy, anti-American, traitorous, socialist democrats.
oh, how I wish they WOULD go and take the fine and 10 years in jail!
Nor can I.
I also can't follow the logic of why we would care if they go.
Think of all the possible good things that might result.
We should make up a dummy that looks like Castro.
How is it that this was missed on this thread. (I hope I did this right)
