Revisiting the State-Sponsors of Terror Report

PUBLICADO PARA HOY 2 DE DICIEMBRE

On August 6th of this year, we posted the following:

Cuba Remains a State-Sponsor of Terrorism

Yesterday, the U.S. State Department released its yearly compilation ["report"] of state-sponsors of terrorism.

Cuba remains on the list, along with Iran, Sudan and Syria.

First and foremost, the Administration should be commended for the appropriate inclusion of Cuba and the sanctions it implies.

Yet, how can the language [in the state-sponsors report] claim that "Cuba no longer supports armed struggle in Latin America," yet recognize its support for the narco-terrorist insurgency groups, FARC and ELN, in Colombia?

And what about the 30,000-50,000 Cuban personnel in Hugo Chavez's government in Venezuela?

Today --

Cables revealed by Wikileaks show serious concern about the extensive (and intimate) involvement of Cuban spies in Hugo Chavez's government, which further challenges the watered-down language in the report.

Yet, even more concerning --

Why isn't this issue (concern) mentioned in the report at all?
