You remember that! I think it was in 1990 that Miami was bombarded by Radio Havana broadcasts as Castro blustered that “we are not a nuclear power, but we are a radio power!!”

Suddenly, though, things got real quiet. I’ve always theorized that the threat was not to bomb Castro’s broadcast transmitters (filled with human shields) but rather his jamming transmitters that were keeping Radio Marti from being heard. Letting the truth get through to Cuba would have been a far greater threat to the Cuban thug dictator.

Anyway, any international organization with the words “World” or “Union” in its title can go boink itself, IMHO.

Fine, what’s say we now use this as justification to blow up al Jazeera since they’re the mouthpiece of OBL and their broadcasts of his garbage directly affect pretty much every non-Islamic government on the globe.

Weren't there stories that the Iranians were using Cuba to jam anti-IRI regime broadcasts that was affecting US domestic stuff?

Perhaps the Iranian operation is the one really causing problems?

Islamist Iran is THE worst nation state mischief-maker.

Russia and China play around the edges, Chavez and Castro bluster, but the Iranian regime is full time terroristic.

Iranian Shiite (the `twelvers’) fanatics are indifferent, even welcoming of their own extermination in the `last days’.

Not a question of if, but when the eastern skies flash incandescent.

"Radio transmissions from an aircraft only toward the territory of another government, and without its consent," contravenes radio communication regulations," the conference decided.

I would expect this from people trying to keep tyrants in power. That's why we'll see the fairness doctrine again.
