Cuban prisoners in Miami honored as Heroes of the Republic of Cuba, acknowledgement of their mothers and wives  12/30/01 Granma: "These "prophets of the present and the future" – as Deputy Raúl Suárez called the five Cubans sentenced for the "crime" of having loved their country – infiltrated the depths of hatred and injustice, in order to learn of a large number of the activities of the hardcore terrorist groups that operate with total impunity in the United States. They discovered their plans and alerted Cuba, with the goal of preventing the death and damages that would result from such actions. These five men, who have become symbols of universal dignity, also prevented terrorist actions that would have seriously hurt the people of the United States, and their recompense for such noble and generous efforts was to be arrested and forced to live for the last three years in subhuman prison conditions, and put through an arbitrary and manipulated trial. Now, without any legal or moral justification, they have been given disproportionate and unjust sentences." All too true.

A Rare Glimpse: Four of Cuba's top lawyers provide a Miami audience with a snapshot of the island country's legal system  12/30/01 Miami Daily Business Review: "Four of Cuba's top lawyers visited Miami last week to present their views of that country's legal system at a conference organized by the U.S./Cuba Legal Forum -- a group recently formed by Cuban-American attorneys."

U.S. to use base in Cuba as al Qaeda detention centre  12/28/01 Reuters

Veterans object to sister-province ties with Cuba  12/27/01 Seattle Post Intelligence: "A King County plan to pursue a sister relationship with a Cuban province has inflamed some local military veterans, who say the county has no business dealing with a communist country that the United States lists as a sponsor of terrorism." Who are these people? Are they as vigorous in their condemnation of China for the communism (in Seattle!) or Miami for the terrorism?

Miami judge sentences Cuban agent to life in prison  12/27/01 Sun Sentinel: "Guerrero's primary assignment was to warn Havana about signs of a U.S. invasion of Cuba. He reported on military flights, aircraft, base remodeling and changes of command at Key West Naval Air Station, in part by translating articles from the base newspaper into Spanish and encrypting them." For this, he gets a life sentence. The federal judge, owned by the Miami Mafia, is embarked on a strategy of increasing tensions and promoting the perpetual war that financially benefits the Mafiosi. La Mas Fea no perdona!

Venezuela initiates extradition procedures for terrorist Posada Carriles  12/26/01 Granma: ""Luis Posada Carriles fled the San Carlos Garrison [in Venezuela] on September 8, 1982, where he was being held. On that occasion he was captured and brought before the courts once again, but he managed to escape [again] on August 18, 1985," Dávila said."

Diehard anticomunism which ignores that al Qaeda originated in an anticommunist struggle. But never mind the details!

GROWING INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT IN SOLIDARITY WITH MIAMI 5 PRISONERS  12/19/01 Radio Havana: "During an event at a downtown Miami hotel to honor relatives of the five Cuban political prisoners, speakers also addressed the issue of terrorism. Max Lesnick -- one of the organizers of the event, along with the Antonio Maceo Brigade and other groups opposed to Washington's policies against Cuba -- said that those who plant bombs in Havana are ironically called "heroes" and "patriots" by Miami's right-wing Cuban-American community. Lesnick affirmed that the true heroes and patriots are behind bars -- convicted and sentenced to long prison terms for trying to stop terrorist actions against their country."

None accused of Cuba travel able to get hearing  12/17/01 Boston Globe: "Nine years after Congress granted the right to civil hearings for anyone accused of violating the Cuba travel ban, no judges have been hired and no hearings have been held. As of September, 357 cases were pending, some of which date to 1995, said a congressional aide, who provided the figure on condition of anonymity. Piano tuner Ben Treuhaft of New York City, for example, has waited for his day in court since being accused in 1996 of illegally traveling to the communist island...Most of those awaiting hearings are not complaining about the delay. People who negotiated settlements have paid fines averaging $7,500, while Treuhaft and others have not paid a cent."

Authors were Amy Myers Jaffe, with the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, Houston, and Ronald Soligo, a Rice economics professor. They wrote the report as consultants, not Baker Institute representatives."

GERARDO HERNANDEZ SAYS HIS TRIAL WAS POLITICAL AND A FARCE  12/12/01 Radio Havana

Cuban spies intended to stop exile terrorists, mothers say  12/12/01 Sun Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale: Watching the Miami Mafia, who have murdered thousands of Cubans in cold blood over the years through airplane bombings, the bombing of factories, bioterrorism, assassination, etc etc, seems necessary. When Orlando Bosch and other convicted terrorist murderers walk the streets of Miami with pride and the US police agencies fail to do their jobs, much as they allege that Saudi police fail to do theirs, what else is there to do but keep the Mafia under surveillance?

Cuba criticizes UN for using food as political pressure  11/29/01 Granma

For Latin America, a candidate from the terrorist mafia  11/29/01 Granma: "On October 11, Senator Christopher Dodd, in a letter to the Wall Street Journal, repeated the message and invited the president to send a "qualified" candidate. But George W. Bush was not impressed. Thus, a few days ago the "nomination" reappeared at the Senate’s door. And this time in the hands of Secretary of State Colin Powell himself, who put his own reputation on the line. And a more angelical argument as well: the Gulf War hero asserted that there is nothing in Reich’s background that "disqualifies" him for this very important position."

Take a break in Cuba from anxieties, tensions and fears  11/29/01 Granma: ""Everyone should know that they should refuse to give the self-incriminating information demanded," he explained. In case of receiving the pre-penalty notice, people should exercise their right to ask for a hearing within 30 days after the letter’s date. The National Lawyer Guild has forms prepared in response to whatever letter the Treasury might send concerning unlicensed travel to Cuba; these forms can be accessed at www.cubalinda.com. "The record of the past five years is that after a hearing is requested, the Treasury Department files away the case because no appeals hearings have been held, nor have any judges been appointed to hold such hearings. Up till now, the processing for all such cases has stopped at that stage."

A City of Ostriches  11/29/01 Radio Progresso, Miami: "Maurice Ferre provided a telling description of this local product to The New York Times after his recent electoral defeat. This experienced politician who received the support of 68% of white non-Hispanics and 88% of black voters, attributed his defeat to “ a lot of dirty stuff here” masterminded by “the right-wing fanaticism in the Cuban-American community.” Adding, “It is the lock-step blind, fanatical rejection of anything not within the purview of what they think is right. There is no middle ground in the minds of many of these people.” The irony here is the type of Cuban-American described by Ferre. It is the same type of person that for years proclaimed that Miami’s success was due to the Cuban-Americans. Now they refuse to acknowledge any responsibility for this ‘poorest city’ debacle. "

Bush appointee linked to terrorism  11/28/01 Guardian: "...it is Mr Reich's relationship with another Cuban American, Orlando Bosch, which now seems certain to derail his appointment. Bosch was first arrested in 1968 for firing on a tanker docked in Miami on the grounds that it was trading with Cuba. He was charged with conspiracy to damage and destroy planes and ships bound for Cuba and jailed for 10 years. Released after four years he went to Venezuela and was arrested there in 1976 after a Cuban plane had been destroyed by a bomb with the loss of 73 lives. He was acquitted and Mr Reich then attempted to help him obtain a US visa… Yesterday, a Senate foreign relations committee source said that Reich's name had now been sent back to the White House as being unacceptable. The source indicated that Democrat senators on the committee have asked for another name to be submitted"

He specializes in defense, counterrorism, and special ops. Insight is a Washington Times publication, the Sun Yung Moon crowd of ultra right crackpots. This is an example of hysterical writings based on complete fantasy. Ana Belen Montes was monitoring US based terrorist, a long term major concern of Cuba, which has faced many terrorist attacks, including bioterrorism, in the last 40 years. Putin pulled out of Lourdes because he was embracing an alliance with the US, not because the Cubans were up to mischied at Lourdes. Cuba is widely recognized in US intelligence circles as not engaged in terrorism. It is on the State Department list thanks to Cuban exiles, who want to shift the blame for their long history of terrorism. The article is riddled with lies and half truths, depicting Cuba's response to 9-11 as one of gloating which was far, far fom the truth.

AS WAR FALTERS, US ENACTS NEW REPRESSIVE LEGISLATION  10/31/01 Radio Havana: Every US resident is a legitimate company target: "This will mean the loss of privacy in one fell swoop. Now telephone conversations can be listened in on without a warrant, microphones can be planted in homes and automobiles, in offices or in all three places . People's most intimate activities can be spied upon and the courts will be unable to interfere. But that is just the beginning. Now the CIA finally has something it has been desiring for decades: it can now legally mount covert and open actions inside the United States. Not that anyone believes it wasn't already done, but it was done clandestinely and exposure could bring legal action against the spy agency. Among the many troubling issues is that those who exercise their constitutional right to assemble, that is, participants or promoters of protest demonstrations, could for political reasons, be interpreted as pro -"terrorist"…. This law has brought new fears to the common people in the United States, not from far away foreign enemies, but from the very institutions that are designed to protect them and insure their security. More and more the United States is looking like the police states it so loudly deplores."

Shootdown: Some Reflections  10/26/01 The Black World Today: "In June 1996 the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] issued its report on the shootdown, concluding that Basulto's plane penetrated Cuban airspace on February 24, 1996. If that event occurred now, after September 11, 2001, Congress and the President would perhaps not be able to blame such a shoot down for the passage of a horrendously oppressive law like Helms-Burton. Finally, the people of our own country may be able to understand what the citizens of other countries feel when threatened from the air. Helms-Burton was going to be passed anyway--minus Title III, which, in any event, is so outrageous that it hasn't been enforced. How shameful that we as a people have allowed Cuba's defense against terrorists to be used as justification for a terrorist law aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission."

For those who are responsible for terrorist acts committed against a tiny country whose only crime is trying to be what it wants for the last 40 years, we simply want to recall a popular refrain in Cuba: "What you don't wish for yourself, don't wish for anyone" -- or in other words: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

TRIAL QUESTIONS PROMPT OUTBURST FROM CUBAN EXILE LEADER  3/13/01 Sun Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale

Cuban Missive Crisis  2/1/01 Miami New Times: "But each, through his court-appointed lawyer, has admitted to spying for a good reason: to protect the lives of people in Cuba from extremist elements of the exile movement. From people who might be crazy enough to bomb hotels in Havana, assassinate Fidel Castro, or even invade the island -- it has been known to happen. In fact three of the men about which the Wasp Network was worried -- Luis Posada Carriles, Guillermo Novo Sampoll, and Gaspar Jimenez Escobedo-- currently are under arrest in Panama for a plot to kill Castro during last November's Ibero-American Summit."

THE RETURN OF THE CONDOR  1/5/01 Prensa Latina: "Cuban-American terrorist Luis Posada Carriles' recent detention in Panama, for leading a commando group that brought explosive devices into that country to attempt to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro during the 10th Ibero-American Summit is daily acquiring greater importance. In the many recent trials against dictatorships of the South, these same people appear to be accomplices in the so-called Operation Condor."

Their Eyes Were Watching Eleggúa  4/20/00 Miami New Times: "One sign of the relevance of Santería to the six-year-old is a letter that has been circulated and discussed on Spanish-language radio for several months. It relates a bizarre story involving Fidel Castro, human sacrifice, and the rafter child. The tale has outraged some Santería practitioners, who believe those who want Elian to remain in Miami are manipulating the religion for political ends."
