@4Barbudos...your name says it all. Guevara executed Cuban peasants at Sierea Maestra for simply refusing to assist his movement. His executions at La Cabana fortress were committed after Batista had fled and Castro had been welcomed to Havana. Those were retaliatory murders.

@jaums "I have yet to find a single credible source pointing to a case where Che executed 'an innocent'. Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder. I should add that my research spanned five years, and included anti-Castro Cubans among the Cuban-American exile community in Miami and elsewhere."

"Che’s life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom, we will always honor his memory." — Nelson Mandela
"Che is not only an intellectual, he was the most complete human being of our time, our eras most perfect man." — Jean Paul Sartre
CHE:
- Worked in a Leper colony and treated lepers (as seen in the excellent film ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’)

Jaums,
I hope they included the video and audio of Che at the United Nations, speaking and in his own words, stating that they had in fact executed, were executing and would continue to execute, and how the world stood by and let it happen.
to RBarbudos: I'm sorry see quotes from Mrssrs. Mandela and Sartre that reflect such a lack of knowledge of Che. Perhaps the quotes are from before the real story of Che was known. His time with lepers was short--it failed to hold his interest. The "Motorcycle Diaries", letters he wrote his father & actions in Cuba show his expertise was killing human beings. The disjointed nature of his writings are not those of an intellectual & as for freedom, his actions proved only of his love for his own.
