Cuban dissidents arrive in exile at Madrid

[dipsydoodle]

A group of three Cuban dissidents and their families released by Havana into exile in Spain have arrived in Madrid.

Some 23 dissidents have now been released over the last three months in a deal agreed between the government and the Catholic church last May.

Three more prisoners are due to leave Cuba for Madrid later this week, according to reports.

1. Apparently whichever one of these porky boys is the "dissident," he hasn't been on a hunger strike.

Let's see 'em try to shake down the Miami Mafia for handouts from Spain. They are not entitled to get U.S. bankrolling from U.S. taxpayers any more, once they move to Spain.

I hear they're not so crazy about that, but tough. They will have to either get a real job or start writing crap about the Spanish government, and throwing fits in public.

4. Really! They'll be dining at the Versailles with their supporters like terrorist Santiago Alvarez?

Don't want to even think about that! What a horrible fate to contemplate, being chained to that crowd for the rest of one's life.

I'd rather dance!
