What I don't understand is how easily Castro's spies in the USA get alway with all of this manipulation! Remember Ana Belen Montes? She, also, drafted a report that was widely cited and then used by Castro's friends in Congress to justify closer ties with the tyrant. She was subsequently found to be a spy and is now serving a very long sentence in jail [may she rot in there for the rest of her miserable life]. Is our government so stupid, or are they complicitous? Isn't our CIA supposed to be top-notch? How do people like this Gary P. Moran get away with the manipulation? It boggles the mind. Sometimes I think that there is a Fifth Column working in this country and that it turns a blind eye to all of this transparent pro-Castro spywork right under their very noses!

I heard that the defense team offered this website as evidence "that Miami was so saturated with hate."

Is this true?

I posted this article yesterday over at 26th Parallel.

It's really a shame that a university as respected as FIU in South Florida has people like Moran on their faculty.

Let's hope it stops there, although I'm sure there's more cucarachas hiding under the tables.

The Castro apologists in Wikipidia are at it again at, they have blocked out all known opposition at site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Che_Guevara

and are openly plotting to rid it of the influence of Cuban-American and Cuban exiles.

Larry,
Thanks for pointing that out to the rest of us. It's incredible how Castro's minions/spies are everywhere even in supposively impartial webpages like Wikipedia.org!

Ray:

Thank you. If anybody has any doubts about Wikipediam they should go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Che_Guevara%27s_involvement_in_the_Cuban_Revolution

and read the section # 6 Unencyclopedic attack piece

there the bold faced communists are leading an attack to bowlderizer a piece I wrote, but no longer have access to:
"Psychological profile

To most biographers Ernesto “Che” Guevara is not a common man. To the extreme left, he is “El Hombre Nuevo” (The new man) and hagiographies are written to this effect e.g. [26]. To some he is extraordinary. Fidel Canelón, Profesor of Historic thought of the Central University defines [27] “El Hombre Nuevo” as a creature necessary to bring about the construction of Communism, one who knows how to do the work of bringing about the social well being: “hacer un trabajo de bienestar social.” This idea is not new, Stalinists once defined the “New Man” as to be “altruist in spirit, communal in outlook, sacrificial in his labour for the common good, boundless in his fight for world revolution” [28]. However to do this “El Hombre Nuevo” had to kill, without regret or hesitation [29].

All biographers agree that Ernest Guevara killed readily. Fidel Castro was trained to kill in the Emilio Tró action group (Ros, 2003) but there is no such record of that kind of initiation in the case of Guevara.

It is possible that this “ability” arose from the trauma of the fearful near death horror of his asthma. Marcelo Gioffré › (English translation at ›) places cites fellow rebel Humberto Vázquez Viaña in stating that Guevara found relief from his asthma in the combat generated adrenalin. Feldman (2003) suggests defects of memory and recall contribute to the willingness to do such political murder.

A harbinger of who young Guevara will become is the passage in the "Motorcycle Diaries" which describes how "Che wakes in the middle of the night and, mistaking his hosts' beloved pet Alsation for a vicious Chilean Puma, shoots the poor creature dead [30]" This theme, the symbolic murder of innocence, is to be repeated in Cuba, when the Che kills a puppy in the Sierra Maestra. What made him this way is not really known. What is certain is that by 1959 the Che Guevara was willing to kill even the youngest of his opponents, for rationales that seem absurdly petty to those educated in ‘western norms.” The Che’s detractors narrate an execution of a 14 year old for trying to defend his father [31].

When one reads certain authors such as Bravo (2005), James, (2001), Fontanova (2005), and Ros (2002) a pathological image arises. Guevara is a man who writes to his father: “I’d like to confess, papa’, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.” (Bravo, 2005)."
