news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/5232628.stmI apologize for posting something from 2006, but I just found this while looking for other stuff. This article encompasses just about every leftist lie and myth surrounding Cuba - its healthcare system, the evil, bumbling fool Che Guervara (wasn't a doctor), but worst of all, reports that the US embargo is chiefly responsible for Cuba's poverty, not the fact that Communist stupidity wrecked the economy from the start of the revolution. Notice as well they refer to the embargo as a "blockade", as is customary on far-left websites on Cuba. The health care system has been exposed time and time again as a fraud just like the Potemkin Villages in Russia. Still the leftist media spews out this crap. They go over there, see the "examples" of the system that Castro wants them to see, and come back full of gushing praise. Michael Moore, the lying leftist swine, is releasing a propaganda movie for Castro as we speak. And all the while poor Cubans languish in decrepit, crumbling hospitals covered in roaches, the BBC is putting out crap like this, just like the leftist media did during the Soviet era. It's amazing that after every Communist regime in history has been exposed as nothing more than a grotesque, inhumane, corrupt monstrosity in which everything was a lie, leftist goons at the BBC still swallow Communist propaganda hook, line and sinker. History will not look favorably on the journalistic integrity and judgment of the BBC.

Cuba has jailed dozens of independent journos under some of the harshest conditions, but these aren't woven from the same cloth as the BBC.
There is still no internet freedom.
Human rights defenders are detained, subjected to summary trials, condemned to many years in prison, and confined in the most inhumane and cruel conditions.
Castro has criticized Forbes magazine for the "infamy" of listing him among the world's richest people, with a net worth of $550 million.
Not sure yet what any of these have to do with sanctions?

You should read "Exposing the Real Che Guevara (and the useful idiots who idolize him)" by Humberto Fontova.
After the first 10 pages, you'll vow to take issue with anyone you see wearing a Che T-shirt for the rest of your life. Can you imagine what it must be like for Cuban exiles in America, who saw family members slaughtered by Che's goons (or Che himself), having to endure the sight of stupid, naive, heartless leftist kids wearing the image of Che as if he was the coolest guy who ever lived?
The book tells a great story about Santana, a huge fan of Che, approaching a young guy wearing an anti-Che T-shirt and chastising him with a bunch of burned-out 60's rhetoric about love and hearts, then when the guy informs Santana of some pretty nasty truths regarding Che's behavior he replies "you're just getting hung up on facts, man".....classic!
