Castro couldn't have said it better. Who cares about a dying mother's wish?

Guatemala could have been a success like Chile. Just trusted the wrong dictator in Guatemala. That happens. If you want to defend the free world against the encroachment of socialism, you must be able to make those kind of decisions.

This is a problem for the father.

GROVER JOSEPH REES: Well, I think the family would disagree that they had an opportunity to present evidence. There are two very, very different views of whether the father is really the right person in this situation to speak for the child. The family thinks they have evidence that he really isn't allowed to speak freely, even now that he's in the United States, that he's still pretty much under the thumb of the Cuban government. They'd like... they'd like the chance to present that evidence in other than an informal context of having the attorney general say, "tell us what you've got" and we don't feel any particular responsibility to address that evidence.
