"It's so cryptic that I'm not even sure what he's talking about: "

He's a nut who probably thinks you are some sort of Federal mole whose out fishing for something. I've run into this before, too. These one's are fun to mess with their minds. :-D

I just accidentally deleted the best post yet on the law librarian listserv regarding the Cuban fiasco. Some moron from Ole Miss posted a response to Mr. Kent (the guy who runs the organization dedicated to helping the independent Cuban librarians), in which he pointed out two totally stupid things.

1. Castro originally allowed the independent librarians into his country. I don't know if this is true or not, but so what?
2. Castro began arresting the independent librarians when it became clear they were actually working for American interests. I have no idea where he got this from, and again I ask, who cares? The ALA is not designed to promote intellectual freedom UNTIL it becomes clear that those promoting said freedom are actually working to support U.S. interests, at which time America bashing takes precedent over librarianship.

The guy then went on to talk about the war with Iraq, and how we should look at how the Bush regime lied and overstated their case for war, and how no dissent was tolerated. Gee, I guess all those demonstrators I saw clogging the streets on TV were summarily executed.

It was classic. I wish I hadn't erased it in disgust, so I could have posted the whole actual text here. I expect Mr. Kent will respond, so maybe I'll get the text of this guy's original moronic post at that point.
