You are absolutely right, it has a lot to do with Floridian politics and the anti-castro Cuban exile community.

The more you learn about Cuba/Us and Cuba/Florida relations the more idiotic it will seem. Idiotic but not surprising. (At least it not as destructive as our policy toward Haiti has been). Nosmo.

This is completely in line with decades of policy, as the article says, this was a loop hole. Meanwhile, the US drags its feet and may eventually harbor convicted international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/09/148243 But our terrorists are freedom fighters. And intellectuals are too naive to be allowed to go to a communist nation like Cuba so for the good of us all the research community should pretend they do not exist.
