THE KETTLE IS BLACK
"President Bush cites dictator Fidel Castro's recent crackdown against dissidents as reason to prolong the 42-year-old Cuba embargo. Yet the Cuban people know that Bush himself has imprisoned, indefinitely and without due process on that same island, hundreds of Muslims as 'enemy combatants' of the United States. The hypocrisy isn't lost on anyone. Although Bush shouldn't be compared to Castro, whose atrocities are many, the president's high road to moral superiority ends at the Guantanamo gulag. Once again, Castro can thumb his nose at a U.S. rationalization for the embargo."
