Without an Iraq-style regimen of international inspections, no one may ever know for sure if Cuba has been producing biological weapons for sale to rogue nations such as Libya and Iran, as Undersecretary of State John Bolton recently alleged. Time was recently among the few foreign publications to get an inside look at some of Fidel Castro's most sophisticated biomedical plants - including the Center for Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology, which the Bush administration has cited as the locus of Cuba's bio-warfare capabilities, and the Finlay Institute, where many of Cuba's vaunted vaccines are produced...
...production couldn't be going on. Cuba's advanced biological and chemical research capacity has long given the international community pause, especially after bioterrorism became such a broad concern after Sept. 11. "Cuba has at least a limited offensive biological warfare research and development" program up and running, John Bolton, a State Department undersecretary for arms control, insisted last week (although he would not reveal the intelligence sources his report was based on).

Speaking live on state television, Castro called on U.S. officials to "present even the most minimum proof" of the allegation Undersecretary of State John Bolton made Monday. "The only thing true in Bolton's lies is that Cuba is 90 miles away from United States territory?No one has ever presented a single shred of evidence that our homeland has conceived a program that develops nuclear, chemical or biological weapons," Castro said. "The doors of our institutions are open...Cuba has absolutely nothing to hide...
...JOSH GROBAN, 21, released his self-titled album last November, its unconventional style baffled radio stations. That's because Groban wraps his baritone around a hybrid of opera and pop, sings in English, Spanish and Italian and, when he performs, is not afraid to look and act like Michael Bolton. If DJs were indifferent, viewers clamored for information after Groban appeared on Ally McBeal playing a loser with pipes of gold. Last week, after he was profiled on ABC's 20/20, sales rocketed, sending the CD into the Top 10. "I'm not performing for the classical crowd...
