write to him and insist the immediate release of the cuban 5 ...fight against this injustice

[rednemesis88]

The US does not have the right to spy in Cuba (or any other country for that matter) because when they do it's for the better interest of the ruling minority American rich and to the detriment of the American worker and farmer. Cuba is the only country in the world right now where socialism actually works. And that is the reason why the CIA has committed so many acts of terror (along with the Miami Mafia) on the island. This is also the reason why Cuba has every right to spy inside the US.

[rednemesis88]

Fidel is not a dictator. Dictators don't teach the poor literacy. Dictators don't arm the people from the threat of invasion. Dictators don't provide free medical care. Dictators don't ration the food products among the people. Dictators don't cut off diplomatic ties with Israel over the mistreatment of Palestinians. Dictators don't organize teams of doctors to go and provide free medical care to the poor in third world countries. If Castro is a Dictator then he is the strangest one there is.

[aniec84]

Governments will always be corrupt. But from one human to another, you have to acknowledge the unfairness of it all. I am not of latin descent, so I'm not biased. I'm just acting as a compassionate human being. Having been to Cuba MANY times, I know they invest A LOT of their money to protect themselves against the closest power country to them; the US. But don't kid yourself, the ppl aren't as miserable has most would have you believe.

[aniec84]

@outlier1985 "The Five appealed their convictions and the alleged lack of fairness in their trial has received substantial international criticism. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta overturned the spies’ convictions in 2005, citing the "prejudices" of Miami’s anti-Castro Cubans,.... In Cuba, the Five are viewed as national heroes and portrayed as having sacrificed their liberty in the defense of their country.[6]"

[aniec84]

@outlier1985 "For their part, Cuba acknowledges that the five men were intelligence agents, but says they were spying on Miami’s Cuban exile community, not the U.S. government.[3] Cuba contends that the men were sent to South Florida in the wake of several terrorist bombings in Havana allegedly masterminded by anti-communist militant Luis Posada Carriles, a former CIA operative.[3]. (cont'd...)

[aniec84]

@outlier1985 Where do you get your information from? I'm sincerely asking. I was in Sweden for work & saw ppl protesting there as well for the same cause. The Cuban5 were spying on THEIR OWN ppl who came to MIA; were you aware of that? Cubans who were betraying their very own gov't. So in fact, there was no reason for the US gov't to intervene; it isn;t their place to police the world. If you have different information, I would really be interested in reading up on it.

[outlier1985]

@aniec84 Show me a list of the people they were spying on. Even if they WERE fellow Cubans they were spying on, they didn't have the right to do it, nor do agents of any other nation have the right to engage in espionage within U.S. borders. You can preach all you like, the rules are the rules. We have the right to act in the interests of our own national security, regardless of how much you don't want to hear it.

[madpuppy1000]

Respond to this video...Right! It's not like the U.S. is spying on anyone else out there! By the way...the FBI already has that list.

[outlier1985]

@madpuppy1000 Every country spies. Every one of them. The point is to not get caught. If you get caught, you deal with the consequences, regardless of what nationality you are. Clamoring for the release of a bunch of psychotic marxists who operated in this country with the intent of murdering US citizens and destroying strategic targets is the height of lunacy.

[rednemesis88]

@outlier1985 If Cuba wanted to kill "US citizens" aka the miami mafia then there would've been alot of blood spilled on the streets of Little Havana. Cuba never supported acts of terror neither from the left nor from the right. You are missing the point about the demands for the release of the 5: the arrest and wrongful conviction of the 5 Cuban "spies" for recording the terrorist activities of the Cuban right-wing is hypocritical on the part of the US who are fighting the so called "war on terr

[outlier1985]

These men were 'protecting their country' by spying on the US as much as George Bush was 'protecting' the US by invading Iraq.

Stupid logic is stupid, no matter which side tries to use it.

[TadiR1]

Cubans should not become friends with USA, it will be like shaking a hand with a devil !!! US will come in, take advantage of cheap labour and fully exploit and take advantage of Cuba for their own gain. I just returned from Varadero, Cuba yesterday, I was there on vacation, and many Cubans are expressing concerns over their Gouvernment getting friendly with USA.

[outlier1985]

@TadiR1 Yes, because that would be so much worse than having no rights and being locked in prison for doing so much as speaking your mind about the government.

[costixx]

They jail those people who were protecting their country and refuse to arrest Luis Posada Carriles who put a bomb in a cuban plane ang killed 73 innocent people in a commercail flight

[outlier1985]

@costixx "Protecting their country." By spying on us and conspiring to murder US citizens. Yeah, right.

[aniec84]

I think there is something obviously wrong, when the rest of the world wants to free these 5 men and the people of the US do not. It's no secret that US media is heavily manipulated. Perhaps a trip across the north of the border would do an American some good, watch some unbiased television. It seems they are being left out on a lot of information about the world and also their so called "war on terror"; it saddens me. The US consists of a big population, with only a few enlightened individuals.

[outlier1985]

@aniec84 I think there is something obviously wrong when a group of foreigners is SPYING on a country and conspiring to commit murder, and there are protests in favor of their release, like they're 5 Ghandis. You people are full of shit.

I guess the rest of the world will only be happy when the US completely lays down and just lets people do whatever they please to us. Good luck with that.

[Vormblood]

@outlier1985

US is waging terroristic war against Cuba because of ideological and financial reasons. Obviously cubans have to do something. Those US citizens they conspired against were terrorists not much different from those who blowed up WTC. What is worse terrorism is convenient pretence for building police state, whether it is Cuba or USA. If you hate all cubans and want to keep them in prison then continue supporting terrorists.

[outlier1985]

@Vormblood Cuba is under the control of a brutal, fascist dictatorship. FACT. And you can try to flip the issue, misuse terminology all you like, innocent U.S. citizens doing their job are not and never will be terrorists. Foreigners sneaking around in our country, compiling lists of people and places to be targeted ARE.

It's amazing, the level of mental acrobatics people will go to to equate Americans with whatever evil they can think of, and Communists with whatever good they can. Amazing.

[Vormblood]

@outlier1985

Well, you sounds very emotional. I think that USA is totalitarian semi-fascist state because of number of civilians killed by them in Cuba, Vietnam and Iraq in violation of international laws. Also because of current witchunt against mr. Assange. These are real, well documented facts. I do agree that Castro is dictator but USA never had problems with dictatorships which were capitalistic. Like S. Vietnam, S. Korea, Pinochet's Chile, modern China and Saudi Arabia.

[madpuppy1000]

@outlier1985 Amazing indeed...Why would ANYONE think that the USA is anything but a peace loving country? The simple fact (among many others) that it owns 95% of all foreign military bases in the world proves that the world has nothing to fear from it.

[outlier1985]

@madpuppy1000 Tell you what, we'll dismantle all of those bases, to shut everyone up. Then the next time a tsunami or earthquake or other humanitarian crisis hits, we'll just send... OH SHIT, *nothing.* Because the means to do so will be gone. But I'm sure you'll just bitch THEN, too.

This is the real world, and the real world has rules. Feel free to sneak into another country and plot against it if you want, but you don't get to cry like a little pansy if you get caught and punished for it.

[Vormblood]

@outlier1985

Really what Cubans supposed to do if CIA is sending terrorists? It is small country, they do not have nukes or aerocarriers. 

[madpuppy1000]

@aniec84 The people of the United States Do NOt know of the case of the Cuban % in the main. That is the beauty of a free press!

[mike20007]

Que hijo de putas son los Americanos estos.

[resfalgio]

Stay in the jail forever you 5 mercenaries, traitor, spy, working for the Cuban mafia of Castro.

[mike20007]

@resfalgio

[MRSCHUTZE1]

The main problem with the Cubans is the Cuban dictatorship they are suffering under.It is a government that represses people.The Cuban 5 should pay their time.They done the crime,now do the time.

[outlier1985]

@MRSCHUTZE1 Finally, a rational comment.

[intermediatespecies]

Sorry Folks,

The Revolution will stand. Fidel, Che and Co. outsmarted Eisenhower and the Kennedy boys. Fidel continued to outfox nine US presidents. Fidel has more brains than all the US presidents who opposed him...combined.

[outlier1985]

@intermediatespecies Yeah, it's a shame he's a vicious, murderous monster. It's a shame the people of Cuba have no rights because of people like him and Che. Intelligence means little when you're a brutal fascist.

[7rightnow]

keep'em in Jail, no commie spies

[Sikitraqui]

the group obtained names, addresses phone numbers of military and civilian personnel of all ranks. The agent had obtained intelligence about the location of buildings and hangars, identification of aircraft, frequency of flights and matters related to the routine use of the base

[Sikitraqui]

this spies had clear military objectives, the penetration of the US Southern Command and the Boca Chica Air Base in Key West. To accomplish this operation, one spy obtained civilian employment in a low-ranking job in the public works section of the base. This base has many buildings, runways, hangars, and military planes. In this place of employment, the agent could obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers of civilian and military personnel of the base.

[MRSCHUTZE1]

@Sikitraqui Well said.

[Sikitraqui]

the main objective of this spies was to obtain intelligence related to planes that use advanced electronic equipment for reconnaissance and bombing. The most famous plane of this type is the F-17 stealth fighter\bomber. Even though one of the members of the 10 was known to have had a non-specified assignment at the McGill Air Force Base in Tampa, the FBI has not revealed if this mission was linked to the Boca Chica operation.

[cilo56]

American Cubans are terrorist.

[Shukria123]

Free the Five!

[centauriblue2]

Ok, lets see...Hum?....7 times 5 = 35 bullets!!

So! it will take only 35 bullets, and a seven man firing squad to "FREE"... this traitors and spy's to the after life HOoo!,, sorry,,, I forgot that the communist, don't believe in haven... Now that's too bad, but is a very, very,. Cheap Solution!!

.

[mike20007]

@centauriblue2 Good solution, but it should be implemented on YOU not them. 35 bullets, all in your head.

[centauriblue2]

The five are in jails and by the look of things in the dictatorship of the island,. they may be liberated after many years, in to a new Cuba, a Cuba free from socialism and the oppressive regime from the Castro's, brothers, and in this case,... To a second jail term in the island or worse... "The Rope" or "The Gun"

Free the five yes! but only after we are free ourselves, and we can make justice to this collaborators.

[GRANDMASTERKANE]

you ever lived in Cuba?

[centauriblue2]

M O R R O N !... I am a Cuban!,. I was born there,..I was raise there,.. I was persecuted and victimize there,...I suffer repression and prison there,... I was made to believe, I was nothing, and that nobody care for my life, THERE!!...and, I left many friends alive but,. Really dead,. THERE!,....

There!..... In the big sad and grey,. "Island prison".

[rednemesis88]

@centauriblue2 I've lived in Cuba on and off and I've never been persecuted or victemized there. I've said whatever I wanted over there and did whatever I wanted.

[GRANDMASTERKANE]

so you have but u better not be a rich fucker, every rich fucker should be stripped of everything they own, how fukin dare they think they deserve to be above over people, your like them republicans, say one thing then do another n cuba aint socialist u fool, its communist, theres a difference ... i know cuba got problems but every country with no money got problems n if u believe in god, u should get a dick in ur ass thats all i aint gonna reply, goodbye n use ur head

[SamFreedom]

You're an embarrassment. It is ok for someone to prosper in a land where they are free to do so. Cuban exiles might have prospered in Cuba were it not for a ruthless dictator laying waste to all such possibility. If they prosper in the U.S., that is their business. It does not change what Castro did. Now, you asked if he lived in Cuba, and he said yes. Now, you should be quiet until you have something important to say for your childish, immature antics embarrass me.

[CJCMA]

It's still in its socialist phase.

[cocuyoencendio]

Good - finally a report on the mainstream media about this terrible injustice.
