Compared to Harry Reid, Castro's a right-winger, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised at all this.

"Fidel Castro has led a tyrannical regime in Cuba that systematically violates basic human rights, including freedoms of expression, association, assembly and movement, and he shows no sign of ending his campaign of terror," Reid said. "101 years ago today, a proud Cuban people declared their independence. Cuban Independence Day should be a celebration of freedom for the Cuban people. Instead, their island has been hijacked by a cruel dictator whose false promises of prosperity have given way to cowardly acts of intimidation. The sad truth is that the Cuban people still are not free."

Meanwhile, Harry Reid has joined in with a tyrannical regime in the U.S. Senate that systematically violates basic human rights, including freedoms of expression, association, assembly and movement, and he shows no sign of ending his campaign of terror. 227 years ago, a proud American people declared their independence, and the Fourth of July should be a celebration of freedom for the American people. Instead, their nation has been hijacked by a cruel political party whose false promises of prosperity have given way to cowardly acts of intimidation. The sad truth is that the American people are far less free than they were in 1776.

Hollywood would be lining up to support Castro! I can see it now, a telethon to raise money for ole' Fidel and his defense. Danny, Oliver and Steven could work the phones!

In April, three Cubans hijacked a ferry in an attempt to flee Castro's repressive regime. The Cuban government summarily tried these men behind closed doors and then executed them by firing squad. Journalists have endured especially severe punishment from Castro. In 2002, his government killed 25 journalists and threatened, harassed or detained 1,420 more.

"Fidel Castro has led a tyrannical regime in Cuba that systematically violates basic human rights, including freedoms of expression, association, assembly and movement, and he shows no sign of ending his campaign of terror," Reid said. "101 years ago today, a proud Cuban people declared their independence. Cuban Independence Day should be a celebration of freedom for the Cuban people. Instead, their island has been hijacked by a cruel dictator whose false promises of prosperity have given way to cowardly acts of intimidation.

The sad truth is that the Cuban people still are not free."

Letter from a Dissident's Daughter***My name is Sayli and I am the daughter of Felix Navarro Rodriguez. At this moment my dad is in prison, it is not the first time that this has happened, but the last time I was too small to understand the reasons why they had taken him away from us. My mother suffered a lot, I did as well because I missed him so much, and I didn't know how to console her.

Today however, I understand why my dad and so many other good men have been incarcerated. I have cried so much that I felt my heart was breaking into one thousand pieces, I think that I will never again be able to cry, because right now I feel a great emptiness inside of me. Perhaps you are asking yourself why I am directing myself at you.

I will tell you that I do so for many reasons; one of them being the fact that you are a woman, and this allows me to speak to you as if I am speaking to a mother, mothers always understand better the suffering of their children. Another reason is that you are a journalist and a professional, dedicated to the cause of Liberty for our country in your radio program "Monday Communiqués With Cuba", with Mr. Agustin Tamargo, as well as in your other program; but the main reason why I write to you is than on more than one occasion, during your broadcasts, I have heard your voice break and I realize that you feel the anguish of our people, as if instead of living in a free country, you lived here, with us, and suffered with your own body and spirit our pain. That is a miraculous thing, and even difficult to comprehended.***

Senator Reid should have strong support. If not, we should be ashamed.
