Reply #5: Even Stopped Clocks Can Tell The Correct Time Twice A Day

[Vogon_Glory]

Just as dial-and-hands stopped clocks can give the right time twice a day, political opponents of the current Havana government CAN ACTUALLY TELL THE TRUTH about political repression in the worker's and peasant's paradise off the tip of Florida. Not always, not necessarily often, not often with full accuracy, but just often enough. Just because the folks at Radio Mambi, the CANF, and in Gee Dubya Boosh's administration don't like the Havana government DOESN'T mean that there isn't repression of the right to assemble, the right to air grievances, or the right to publicly oppose the current regime, despite the fond wishes of "sandalistas" and off-shore Castro fans. Just because the folks at Radio Mambi, the so-called Cuban Liberty Council, the Diaz-Balart brothers, and the Gee Dubya Boosh mal-administration oppose the Havana regime is NO EXCUSE for progressives remaining SILENT about the Havana regime's shortcomings when it comes to freedom or expression or how the Havana regime deals with political dissent or with those who gather information that doesn't conveniently fall within the confines of what the powers-that-be in Havana wish to be known by the general public.

Too bad for the hard-core "sandalistas" that there are so many reports of human rights abuses by the Havana regime emanating from outside Miami exile, "Conservative" and US government propaganda organs that claims of human rights abuses within Cuba can't be written off as just so much chaff.

I fail to see why people like the Ladies in White or their loved ones in jail need to be repressed.
