I'm sure Castro doesn't care otherwise why let them out of the country.

But...but...but...I thought Cuba was a worker's paradise, with free healthcare, education and happy citizens all around.

Hope none of the defectors left family members (or friends)
behind in Cuba.If they did,they're unlikely to do nearly as well as Elian Gonzalez is claimed to be doing.

"I'm sure Castro doesn't care otherwise why let them out of the country."

He cares enough to have their family members beaten and jailed.

Gee, I guess people forgot to tell the defectors about the free health care, low infant mortality rate and great public eduation in Cuba ;-)

You have got to be kidding.

It's highly unlikely that any of them have any "state secrets" to divulge....but their defection gives El Commandante publicity that wouldn't please him.

When was the last time you heard about a US singing group (or anyone for that matter) defecting en masse to Cuba? You'd think it would happen all the time, what with the great educational and health-care systems that the leftist media assures us Cuba has.

Why would they do that?

Code Pink's Medea Benjamin said her stay in Cuba "made it seem like I died and went to heaven."

Why would anyone want to leave "heaven?"

</sarcasm>

Yes, if guys like Harry Belafonte talk about how great life is in Cuba, why don't you see them defecting to Cuber?

Why doesn't Robert Redford and all the other Hollywierd nut cases all pony up and help these refugees get on with their lives in this big, bad, capitalist wasteland they have defected to?

Looks like Castro himself is the only one Cuba can trust not to defect.

The highly acclaimed 40-member group, which travels the world promoting the Communist regime,

Why does Castro even let people out any more?

Every bunch he lets out ends up losing people. And these are the 'vetted' people. Imagine how many would leave if he suddenly opened the borders.
