Quote of the Week

"The big problem is that Cuba wants to negotiate the release of [American Alan] Gross for the five spies and the United States is not willing to do so because Gross was involved in a peaceful and civil activity that did not result in any bloodshed. Meanwhile, in the case of the spies, there's a direct implication in the death of citizens and residents of the United States. The negotiating sides are incomparable."

-- Guillermo Fariñas, famed Cuban dissident and recipient of the 2010 Sakharov Award for Human Rights by the European Union, El Nuevo Herald, 10/28/11
