Interesting note on Cuba -

We're currently using Gitmo to hold Cuban migrants trying to reach the US. About 50 people have been held there for years; one is a 10 year old diabetic boy.

At least he won't be blowing up any buildings . . .

However, to address your point. What is currently being done (and has since Clinton instituted the wetfoot / dry foot policy in 1994) with Cubans trying to migrate to the U.S., is actually illegal as it violates the Cuban Refugee Adjustment Act of 1966. This policy was an attempt controle the situation developed because many Haitians were trying to pass themselves off as Cubans. There is a clear difference between wanting to leave your country because it sucks because nobody wants to work to improve it and wanting to leave your country because voicing any dissenting opinions can lead to prison or death. Its also very different when a Haitian, Mexican, Dominican or what have you says I want to leave for a better life elsewhere and the government says ok, as opposed to shooting them dead on the spot while trying to escape.

This all started in 1994 when 32 Cubans hijacked a tug boat in Cuba with the purpouse of escaping in it. A Cuban patrol boat rammed and sank the tug boat killing the 32 people, obviously not because they cared about the boat but because, it is the Castro's policy to kill those who try to escape.
However, in this instance for the third time in history, Castro decided to re-impliment his open migration policy in Aug 18,1994. Basically saying anybody who is not with the revolution can leave now. Ofcourse upon saying that thousands imediately up and left and it only went to the point where Castro decided to put a stop to it. Its not like he was going to let the entire Island empty out.

The first time this occurred was in September/1965, when he said anybody who wanted to leave could do so by port of Camarioca. That one lasted for about a month with 5,000 leaving daily. It also led to one of the few good things I can attribute to the Johnson administration. He instituted a program known as 'Freedom flights' which lasted from 1965-1973. Here Castro agreed to let one plane fly in and out daily taking Cubans who didn't want to be there to the U.S. 265,000 Cubans rode this plane to freedom during that time.
The other time that Castro said anybody who wants to leave could was in 1980 through Mariel harbor. What led to this occurred on March 28,1980. A bus, full of Cuban citizens, intentionally rammed into the Peruvian ambassy in Havana and claimed asylum. Soon after, 10,800 would follow at the Peruvian Ambassy. Jimmy Carter then announced that he would take 3500 who were processed by the Costa Rican ambassy.
At this point Castro felt he was being made a fool of, so he said anybody who wants to leave can by Mariel Harbor.

Finally to address the root of this post. Is Castro alive or very ill? The truth is we don't know. But here are some facts that are promising. The Brazilian leadership leaked that he has a stomach cancer. I like this possibility, as it will assure a painful death.
Meanwhile, he has not been seen in public. But obviously photo-shopped pictures have been released. Then a video which can not be clearly determined is released. In it there is nothing which proves that the video was not shot 3 weeks ago or three months ago. Combine this with the fact that we know he has body doubles which could have been used to make this short video. See attached Castro before and after the operation picture.
And then for some amusement see the other pictures attached.

If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

And I'll bet you know all about Antarctica, since you've never been there (but you hear it's really bad.)

I heard its really cold and causes shrinkage in all kinds of things.

In that case my friend's ex wife might want to go there and pull her pants down!

TYVM for the info!

Nice attempt at a PA.. there .... hey at least MY boats are mine.. not my daddies. What I have earned in my life.. has been earned by me.. not given to me by daddy.

I think what you posted shows a WHOLE lot of ethnocentricity....quite a bit of hatred.....( not so uncommon by you Ultra Right Wingers( like the cuban right wing goon squads who attacked election headquarters in Dade County in 2000 to stop the recounts in an election))

You forget I was stationed in Miami for 2 years during that period... 74 to 76.. I got to experience ethnocentricity at its finest from a certain immigrant community... I also got to see that community up close. I also got to run across some of your Ultra Right wing groups out playing with some of their toys out on the edge of the Everglades..... most were and are still posers.... spendy little toys do not a freedom fighter make.

I love your good christian attitude as well about Castro... the more suffering for him the better in your eyes..... remember the biblical saying.. judge not lest ye be judged.. I think a WHOLE lot of you Right wingers are in for one hell of a surprise when your life is over.

To spend time replying your innaccurate statements would be to give you too much credit.
So instead I will just laugh.
