More from the babalublog:

Let's all keep in mind that this "transition" has not taken place overnight. The Cuban government have slowly been weening the Cuban people of fidel castro for weeks now, publishing numerous articles and editorials in Granma, Prensa Latina, and all other government news sources, getting the public ready for the change in leadership.
.....
I should note, for those of you that arent very familiar with fidel castro's deaths, that this is the first time where actual reports on castro's health were made publicly to the Cuban people via Cuban media. Thus, sparking even more speculation as to the fate of the bearded bastard.

Based on his past, Raul is certainly capable of ruthlessness himself:

castro's puppet President Urrutia was installed Jan. 1, 1959, the same day Batista fled to the Dominican Republic. Immediately, the island was engulfed in violence. It is commonly accepted that raul castro, fidel's brother, was involved, among other massacres, in personally machine-gunning 250 people into a ditch outside Santiago de Cuba. The castro government's act was returning the death penalty. The pretence of a trial was more often relinquished and the reign of terror raged.
