Deaths attributed to Castro:

Here are some figures:

executed	18,000
extrajudicial assassinations	1,000
disappeared	250
died in prison for lack of medical attention	50
murdered in prison by guards (brutality)	500
extrajudicial assassinations of women, for different causes	150
Sub-total for extrajudicial killings	20,400
political prisoners who reportedly committed suicide in prison	200
died at sea attempting to flee "balseros" - estimate based on Coast Guard estimates of casualties	83,000
Cubans killed in "internationalist-solidarity" wars in Africa	10,000
Total	113,600

The above numbers don't include deaths caused by Batista regime, documented by Armando Lago at 2,500, of which 2,200 are deaths in military battles in the Sierra Maestra, mostly soldiers, and 300 were murdered by Batista security forces.

To put these numbers into some context, note that all deaths reported during the entire Pinochet regime in Chile totaled no more than 3,100, a figure which includes the disappeared.

Nota Bene: Following the journalistic code of reporting by the Voice of America (VOA), two independent sources are used to confirm report of incident.

Lest we forget, this list is a few years old, you can increase it by the number of deaths in the Straits (The Killing Waters), by the number of deaths in the Tugboat 13 de Marzo Massacre, and the murdered Brothers to the Rescue pilots.

LGF'ers - pay attention now. Iran is in bed with Castro and vice versa. Cuba is not far from our shores and Iran is too far away for a first strike.

Do we have a 2nd potential Cuban Missile crisis on our hands except now it's Iran supplying weapons and not Russian?
