Mary O'grady's column on the Americas appears in the Monday WSJ.
Today Today she interviews Antonio Rodiles who has been harassed, beaten, imprisoned, and possible injected by Castro goons.
Tamusa's Education Dept is planning a trip to Cuba by the way.
But the Cuban military controls all travel in Cuba and keeps the profits. Antonio reports that Obama has and the Pope have given the Castros the legitimacy they have always desired.
Our US Embassy ignored legitimate dissent on its opening. Now other governments are doing the same. If anything this will only further cement the Castros' power.
Is it ethical to travel to a repressive government knowing it will make it even harder for the Cuban people to ever regain control of their own country. Note the Castros have never held an honest election, and have imprisoned over 8,000 since Obama signed this deal.
Your take?
