4. Then Stay Home...
"...delegation didn't intend to conduct business or to meet with Cuban government officials...

Then it is unlikely, this group will do anything of benefit for the Cuban people if they are boycotting their government --

If they want to take a stand...In for a penny, in for a pound

Like a poster said, if they want to go, they can gain access through MOST civilized countries and then it would relieve this group of HAVING to ignore government officials --

Ironically, if they did THAT, then they would be FREE to talk to anyone they want; including government officials that MIGHT have some of the information they want to exchange.

They could do more staying at home and lobbying their OWN government for an end to the Cuban blockade (or even discussing "food, water and medicine" with fellow Americans -- they can start in NOLA and work their way up).

Cuba don't need help from a 'US trade group'
