Castro's Cockroaches

Alina Fernandez, the emigre daughter of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, condemned ex-president Jimmy Carter late Monday for playing into the hands of her father's brutal and repressive regime.
"I don't know what [Carter] is doing there," Fernandez complained to Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
"I always said that Jimmy Carter was drawn to the presidency because of his innocence," she added. "But I don't think he's acting innocently right now."
Castro's daughter reminded "Hannity & Colmes" that the man Carter warmly embraced in news photos flashed around the world had "caused so many deaths, he has got so many victims - not only Cubans ... [but] down there in Angola, in the Middle East, in all Latin America."
"It's a very, very hard and sad story," she lamented.
Fernandez also decried Carter's statement that he found no evidence to support a pronouncement from the Bush State Department last week, warning that her father is developing weapons of mass destruction.
"Do you think that Castro would open the labs [to Carter]?" she said sarcastically.
Fernandez speculated that Carter's real goal was to get the U.S. to lift its long-standing economic embargo because "he's representing some very tough financial interests."
Castro's daughter managed what she described as her "escape" from Cuba eight years ago disguised as a Spanish tourist, so her own daughter could be educated and live in freedom.
