>>Anyone know how many people were killed under Castro regime?
Rummel puts the numbers in the range 35,000 - 141,000, with a likely number of 70,000. That's through 1987, and I don't think it includes those killed by Castro's troops acting as mercenaries for the Soviets in Africa.

It is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many Castro and his club of thugs has killed. Noone will really know the number because a huge fraction of the deaths caused by Castro (at least in my opinion) are people who have drowned trying to escape his hellhole to Florida, Mexico, and elsewhere. Some estimate put those deaths alone at 30-40,000. But don't expect anyone in the media to report that! When Castro dies the only thing that the media will report will be the passing of "a great humanitarian."
