Jimmy Carter is heading to Cuba tomorrow
Edited on Sun Mar-27-11 05:42 PM by malaise
and that ReTHUG lunatic Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is talking about the message it sends.

<snip>
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter arrives in Cuba Monday for a three day visit at the invitation of the the Cuban government.

While officially he has been invited to learn about the communist nation's new economic policies, Mr. Carter is expected to intervene on behalf of an American contractor recently sentenced to 15 years in a Cuban prison.

Alan Gross was accused of "subversive" work providing illegal Internet access to dissidents groups. Gross said he was trying to provide Internet service to members of Cuba's small Jewish community.
Does she know anything about the Cubana flight that was blown out of the sky and where the criminals reside today?

Love you Jimmy Carter

1. Carter's last visit to Cuba
I'd pay big money to be in a room with Fidel and Jimmy Carter

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter arrived in Cuba on Sunday and became the first U.S. president -- in or out of office --to visit this communist country since the 1959 revolution that put Fidel Castro in power.

Dressed in a gray suit, Castro, 75, greeted Carter, 77, at the airport with a handshake and symbolically threw open the doors of the island to the former American head of state. Carter, Castro said, could speak with anyone "even if they do not share our endeavors," an obvious reference to human rights groups. He also said Carter could go anywhere �� including Cuban scientific centers, which U.S. officials recently claimed could be working toward making biological weapons.

Carter said he and his wife, Rosalynn, had traveled here as friends of the Cuban people and hoped to meet many during their five-day stay. Carter reminded Cubans that he would be addressing them on live television Tuesday evening.
