We need more men like this

This is the text of the speech by Chief of Mission (to Cuba) James C. Cason on the occasion of the Fourth of July Celebration. You can read it in English or Spanish.

Very encouraging.
I hope he is nominated one day to become Secretary of State. That'd be good to see!

I pray his predecessor is as clear minded and will also stand up for his convictions. Great speech, thanks George.

By the way, has anyone seen this in the msm? No, but they cover the bearded termites rants against the U.S.

You are right George! Cason showed a lot of courage and creativity during his time in Havana. Hopefully the new guy will continue where Cason left off. Bush should now post Cason in Caracas!

We haven't seen the last of Cason and his committment to the democratization of Latin America.
