ACONCAGUA (Obama can you hear the Cuban Five a little better now?)

http://www.principioesperanza.com/ The incurable moral degradation of the empire and its new rulers overflowed like infection from a wound, when several months ago the U.S. State Department denied a temporary U.S. visa for Adriana Perez OConnor, the wife of Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo. In that legal farce put on in Miami with the consent of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Gerardo was sentenced to two life sentences plus 15 years in prison. As if such a penal monstrosity were not in itself sufficient, U.S. justice has prohibited him a visit from his wife, for eleven years, something that is not denied even the worst criminal confined in any of its prisons. In this infamous episode, worthy of inclusion in a new chapter of that remarkable book by Jorge Luis Borges, A Universal History of Infamy, the current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, as a way of justifying the unjustifiable, said that a visit by Adriana constitutes a threat to the stability and national security of the United States. Few expressions could surpass this one as timely proof of the moral rot of the empire. One would hope that the achievement of Santiago, Aldo and Alcides at Aconcagua might serve to help Obama realize the universal discredit into which he is falling by continuing the policy of his predecessors in relation to two key issues: the unjust incarceration of the Cuban Five and the maintenance of the criminal blockade against Cuba.
