They also hand out short wave radios to any Cubans who want them which are set to pick up the Radio Marti propaganda transmissions from Miami, from the station programmed, staffed, run by Cuban Americans at an enormous expense to the U.S. taxpayers.

The station isn't needed for news of the U.S., since Cubans can get radio and tv stations with no unusual equipment in their own homes. A Canadian DU'er who goes there on vacation has told DU'ers that she picks up US radio stations in Havana on her Walkman.

It does seem bizarre that the U.S. keeps the Interests Section going. I think the U.S. does rely on Cuba, behind the scene, to assist running down drug people going through their area, as they have turned some over, but it never gets acknowledged publicly here.
