Europe will applaud if the U.S. Supreme Court continues to upgrade legal standards for prisoners at Guantánamo...
...information because the “so-called academics” were mere hacks coming to “spout the party line.” As such, it was in the national interest to make sure the Cuban government would “feel the pressure of our disdain for that regime” by denying these academics “the hospitality of the United States.” The State Department is wrong on all accounts, and it fails to conceal its real ulterior objective: appeasing the significant bloc of Cuban-American voters in the crucial swing...
