Holy Dewey Decimals!
Micheal Gorman, head of the American Library Association, took a licking the other day from Romanian born author Andre Codrescu. It seems Gorman is still a little rattled as he allowed himself to show his true colors, in a response to Robert Kent of the Friends of Cuban Libraries.
Cuban American Pundits has the whole exellent story.

And while Gorman was getting his knickers tied up in knots over this "quarrel", yet another Cuban librarian gets his home invaded by the tiranosaurius' minions and some 400 books deemed "dangerous" are taken away.
Books that will never be seen --or read-- again.
All without any legal justification, without a way to fight the injustice.
Gorman, you have joined up with the wrong side in this fight. Wake up, you hypocrite!

Codrescu escaped from communist Romania, which under the Ceaucescus was one of the most brutal of the Soviet vassal states. His book Ay, Cuba is excellent. You can't bullshit someone who escaped from totalitarianism
