ICBW, but my recollection is that at the time the embargo was supposed to be 75 years.
Yes.
But if an early release serves the government, and the fear of a war with our 3rd and 4th closest neighbor is passed, (and maybe it can take something embarrassing to the government off the front pages) the government will release it!
Ummm, did you mean the news embargo or the Cuban trade embargo?
