3. What a crock! The US broadcasts are in violation of international law.
Seems that the pro Bush policy factions will stoop to any low to defend American exceptionalism.

Suddenly, those who object to US aggression and violations of law against the tiny island sovereign nation are now "starry-eyed Castro groupies". A classic cold warrior red baiting attack from yesteryear.

As usual, the contingent of DU's pro Bush Cuba policy apologists have ZERO actual experience in Cuba, never been to Cuba, and communicate with no Cubans in Cuba. They, along with corporate media giants, have chosen to regurgitate the shop worn cold war propaganda in their rush to defend illegal tactics that undermine and violate international agreements, while having no clue as to the actual range of media available to Cubans in Cuba. Like the rhetoric that surrounded the Iraq invasion and occupation - Bushco tactics based on adamant ignorance (or willful disinformation tactics).

VogonG, I know you don't support the embargo and travel sanctions, but why defend the indefensible with little or no understanding of the topic? It smacks of knee-jerk Cubaphobia, or starry-eyed support of American exceptionalism.
