Moore, who likes his words unminced, told the Los Angeles Times, "I will be spitting venom all over...

Raúl already consults a small core of foreign policy veterans on U.S. policy, including Jorge Bolaños, Cuba's de facto ambassador in Washington, and Fernando Remírez de Estenoz, one of Cuba's most respected diplomats and the foreign relations point man inside the Cuban Communist Party's all-powerful Central Committee.
