Gulags: A Rant

"(Be warned: foul language ahead.)

Somewhere in Cuba, there are prisoners of conscience, political prisoners, sitting in their excrement infested 3 foot by 6 foot completely enclosed cells rotting away for maybe owning a typewriter or for writing a poem or, far worse, for expressing their opinions.

They eat maggot filled slop maybe twice a day. Dont see the light of day and are tortured both physically and mentally in so many different ways that I, so far removed yet so read up on the subject, even have trouble imagining."

Val, even they started somewhere, there's no doubt that today the Cuban regime are among the best, but let's hope that's a contest we never win.
Even better, we are Americans, we can do more than just hope. We can make sure that we are not even playing that game.

The regime in Cuba can do whatever it wants, but the government in Washington has to do whatever it's doing with the consent of the American people. And to that end, we the people have a right to know the truth, whatever that may turn out to be.
