What? Why would a communist/socialist paradise like Cuba have either political dissidents OR political prisoners? Quick, find a liberal to explain this.

I hope the man writes a book about political-prisoner life in a cuban prison.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn won the Nobel prize in literature for his expose of life in the Russian Gulag system.

Let's give credit where credit is due though. Cubans were instrumental in building Miami into the city that it is(or was) and helping turn Florida Republican. Bear in mind that I'm not talking about the Mariel scumbags, but the Cubans who fled Castro in the late 50's and early 60's. Not only that, but those same Cubanos were instrumental in Reagan's success in '80 and '84. Gracias amigos...those of us who know our history will not forget.
