Castro Sucks up to the EU
From today's Miami Herald:
The Cuban government released at least three political prisoners in a move widely viewed as a ploy to smooth strained relations with the European Union.
Experts said the action may provide Spain with an opportunity to lobby neighboring heads of state to soften their stance on Fidel Castro's government when the EU Council meets in Brussels in mid-December.
"It's obvious that it's a result of behind-the-scenes negotiations or exchange of conditions," said Joaquín Roy, director of the University of Miami's European Union Center.
This brings to mind that jackass Jimmy Carter who went to Cuba and played baseball with Castro, who could not be bothered to visit or or even inquire after the health and well being of American Walter Van der Veer, imprisoned in Cuba since 1997.
For Jimmy Carter, and Fidel Castro, I have two words: Fuck you!
FREE WALTER!!
Walter is an American citizen, abandoned by his country, sentenced to 15 years of hell in a Cuban prison, forgotten by everyone but his family.
Don't mention Walter's name to the "brave and honorable Cuban Exiles" here in South Florida, for they don't like to be reminded that they too have abandoned Walter and left him to a fate worse than death.
