Florida Congresswoman Pans Video Clip

MIAMI -- A congresswoman says a video clip showing her calling for Fidel Castro's
assassination footage is fake, though she adds that she wouldn't mourn the Cuban
leader's death.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., appears in the 28-second clip being circulated
on the Internet by the makers of a new British documentary, "638 Ways to Kill Castro."

In it, she says: "I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro
and any leader who is oppressing the people."

However, the Havana-born lawmaker, recently tapped to become the top Republican
on the House International Relations Committee, says the filmmakers spliced clips
together to make the sound bite.

The assassinate Castro phrase doesn't look like a splice to me.

1. It's obvious that video is real

It would be fairly obvious to detect if it was edited to make it sound like something it's not.

2. it's not a splice

Poor baby got caught in a Pat Robertson moment? Anyone who calls for assassination should not be in office in the US. If she's so concerned about Castro, she can step down and go do her freedom-fighting in Cuba.
