Thanks for bringing attention to those Nat Hentoff columns. Hentoff is probably the most uncompromising defender of liberty writing today.

Castro is only doing what is expected of him. He is a gangster, after all. I find the behavior of the ALA most egregiously vile. How condescendingly dopey is this?

A member of the ALA's policy-making governing council, Mark Rosenzweig, says patronizingly that "we cannot presume that all countries are capable of the same level of intellectual freedom that we have in the U.S. Cuba is caught in an extremely sharp conflict with the U.S. . . . I don't think [Cuba] is a dictatorship. It's a republic."

I hope Elian has a feliz Nacimiento de José Martí when it comes around...
