    Are you talking about the 75 or so "political dissidents" that were imprisoned?

    They went to trial and were found guilty because they were receiving funding from the U&#036;, through the U.S. Cuban Special Interests "ambassador". They were paid subversives and were imprisoned for it.

    First of all it is wrong to call it "Castro&#39;s crackdown". Cuba is a state with laws and a judicial process. Fidel doesn&#39;t simple decide to imprison people and doesn&#39;t manage every aspect of the country - that is a distortion by anti-Cuban media.

    These "dissidents" were people who recieved millions of dollars to subvert Cuba on behalf of a foreign power - that is illegal in the United States and it is illegal in Cuba.

    For detailed info check out the following press conference and links

    "Political dissidents"? Hahha, Che would have had them all shot. Rightly so.

    Some quotes on the range of my character:

    &quot;. He&#39;s only around still because he&#39;s a member of the &quot;old guard&quot; who seems to have friends in high places.&quot;

    “I couldn&#39;t care less if he&#39;s the highest quality posted on the board. The guy goes out of his way to be unpleasant to anyone who &quot;dares&quot; to disagree. This is not some one off event, he was only let back in because he promised he had reformed. He lied then, and you lot gave him the benefit of the doubt, now your going to give it to him again.”
    -Enigma

    “Amusing as Elijah&#39;s bons mots may be, when you find yourself reading someone&#39;s apparently serious posts twice, searching for some sort of sardonic quip hidden in there, you know that person needs to be banned.”
    -CubanFox

    “And therefore, much as I hate to say it, I think Elijah must be banned for the good of the board.”

    While I may have my criticisms of Castro, any president who passes the Patriot Acts has no right to criticize Castro&#39;s crackdown of paid subversives.
    It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced... that&#39;s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.

    Comrade Guevara would have shot them all himself (as would I). His ruthlessness is legendary to my comrades in Mexico.

    Apparently you missed the sarcasm in the post. I put the term political dissidents in quotes for that purpose. I was not seriously implying that these scumbags were anything but paid subversive traitors.
