What would we do without those Think-Tank "Experts"?

“The most prominent among the purged were the youngest and most reform-minded...”

These, of course, are the neo-marxists that Obomber wanted to “talk directly to” because they were going to “change the political landscape”...what a dope...look for the next round of purges in similar totalitarian regimes around the world...Bambi can stil try talking with these thugs, but they will all be too dead...

Won't stop the Canukies from doing business with them.

Cubans HATE Raul Castro. He was responsible for the majority of executions after the “revolution.” Cubans have long memories. Some day soon this will all come out.

[17th Miss Regt]

Roques confessed to spying for eight different intelligence services - USA, Britain, Morocco, Indonesia, Finland, Andorra, Lesotho and the Grand Duchy of Fenwick.

These are very serious charges. I hope they did not use torture to obtain these confessions. It lowers the moral position of the Cuban government down to the level of the spies.

Raul worked with a KGB handler as early as 1953

Raul always preferred Chinese communism. Neither he, nor Fidel liked the Soviets, and the Soviets didn't like them. Fidel's real hero is Hitler.

[Veto!]

Trotsky’s murderer, Ramon Mercader, by the way, served as Cuba’s “inspector of prisons” in the 1960’s, was favorite companion of both Raul Castro and Che Guevara, and upon his death in 1978 was buried with honors in a Havana cemetery.

An acquaintance of mine worked for the US State Dept in Latin America. It was his job to get political prisoners released. He said that no country had worse, more cruel, less humane jails than Cuba. Prisoners were abused and dehumanized beyond anything he's seen in all his years visiting jails.

So no, they're not going to change in Havana. Just hire better PR people. The best so far is Ibn al'0bamarama, our stupidly naive president.
