Alegged plot against Raul Castro?

CNN) -- Some long-time Cuba watchers expressed skepticism Tuesday over a report by a former Mexican foreign minister that Communist leader Raul Castro removed two top-ranking officials earlier this month because they were plotting to overthrow him with the support of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

I am skeptical as well, but if this is true, it is sure to be one of the most controversial and WTF moments in modern leftist politics. To be honest I was scared Raul was going to deviate from the revolution, but the Cubans I talked to think he is making positive changes and he has shown loyalty to the bread and butter complaints expressed by the population. And Chavez...wow. It doesn't make sense, the Castro brothers don't have a rivalry. I understand Roque and the others' concerns but I dont think they would go to these extremes. We should definitley wait to see what happens and what other information surfaces.

What a tool. Seems to be a generator for hostility towards Latin American leftists.
