No respectable progress regarding the remaining national heroes. What a shame. Washington is concealing the truth from the US public, or that part of the public which hasn't bothered to determine the truth behind the official fictitious version.

Apparently they may feel it's hard to admit that after all these years, they have been steadily pursuing murderous actions through the assassins who have been setting forth to Cuba all these years, in spite of the US law which prohibits launching aggression against other countries from U.S. soil, and they also have allowed Cuban-"exile" terrorists to boast publicly of their exploits, their assassinations of Cuban nationals, their bombings, etc., and the fact that U.S. officials "look the other way" when they even catch them in the water, on their boats, loaded with artillery, headed for Cuba.

To acknowledge the Cuban Five actually had ever GOOD reason in the world to be in South Florida trying to stop this murderous violence against Cuban people is to reveal their own guilt.

Alan Gross, on the other hand, was NOT trying to save his own country from murderous slime coming ashore and assassinating U.S. Americans and returning home to celebrate and whoop it up with friends.

No close comparison, none whatsoever.

Looking forward to reading more of this interesting material later this evening.

This is a great and unexpected catch. Thank you, Mika.
