Reply #9: Some related info. on their sex charge against Cuba [View All]

[Judi Lynn]

referring to a recent article published in Miami, by El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish version of the Miami Herald, written just their Cuban "exile" readers, a publication which has very little respect for the facts:

(snip) On August 25, El Nuevo Herald led with an incoherent and fact free story about Cuba selling underage girls for prostitution in Latin America. Earlier in August, The Herald also trumpeted that 3 Cuban gymnasts had defected at the Pan American games in Santo Domingo. They barely mentioned the 72 gold medals Cuban athletes won. Other recent Herald stories assert that Castro has lost his marbles because he seemed confused at a speech, that Greece denied Castro's application for a visa for the 2004 Olympic Games and that Elian Gonzalez, the little boy rescued off the Florida coast who was returned by the Clinton government to his father two years ago to the horror of the Castro-hating Cubans in Florida, has become Castro's "little puppet doll."

FIDEL AND THE PRINCE
Like the embargo itself and the various bills that tightened it, the new measures are directed against one man as if Castro was the lone resident of the island. Aside from the irrelevance of these stories to the issues of the world and the nation, they do demonstrate the ability of Fidel Castro to twist the brain of his opponents, -- as well represented by the Herald -- to reduce them to a cackling gang of fixated or obsessed harpies.
