...Cuba watchers agree that even Castro - a frustrated scientist who committed his communist revolution as much to medical research as sports prowess when he consolidated his power in the 1960s - probably wouldn't be foolish enough to compromise the credibility of labs like the CIGB and Finlay by allowing bio-weaponry to be produced in them. That doesn't mean, of course, that such research and production couldn't be going on.

This action alone makes any claims of concern over biological weapons by the president appear hypocritical and foolish. American citizens cannot let Bush’s double standard act as a call to battle...
