For what it's worth...

A couple weeks back, prior to my trip to DC, Id done a video interview for Time Online on the lifting of travel restrictions by the Obamessiah and, as usual, had my qualms about the outcome. And, as usual, upon viewing the finished piece, realized that I was right to have said qualms.

You can view the video report, right here.

You're such a heartless fiend, Val, wanting to keep poor Dr. Iglesias and his wife Yolanda from enjoying their right to drink some mojitos and have some lobster dinners at the Hotel Nacional in Havana. And poor Cuban businessman, Mr. Cabanas, who is just trying to make a living. It is not his fault he chose to open a business that depends on paying a murderous dictatorship exorbitant fees for the right to sell tickets to their country.

You did fine, BTW, Time wasn't going to report on this issue with any objectivity, anyway.

I agree with the previous comments, although while I feel some sympathy for the husband/wife who want to see family and where they came from (don't we all?), the travel agent I feel no remorse whatsoever for.
