    US-CUBA: Despite Trinidad, still in limbo?

    Despite a growing sense of anticipation coming out of the Trinidad Summit of the Americas last weekend regarding the possibility of a historic breakthrough in U.S.-Cuban relations, specialists here remain uncertain about how and even if that breakthrough will be achieved.

    How Fidel Castro snookered everyone

    Geopolitics makes for strange bedfellows indeed. After President Barack Obama's performance at last weekend's Summit of the Americas (and before that, on a quick visit to Mexico City) nearly everyone in Latin America and the United States was applauding the new president and fawning over his impressive performance. Everyone, that is, except for American conservatives, such as Newt Gingrich, and ... Fidel Castro

    Hard lines on Havana soften in Miami

    In the nearly two weeks since President Barack Obama changed travel and remittance policies on Cuba, demand for flights to the island has exploded, according to Miami-based charter companies licensed to operate them. At the same time, conversations with Cuban immigrants in Miami suggest that the engagement approach has set into motion a wide-ranging reexamination of U.S. efforts to bring change to the island.

    Obama calls for 'new beginning' with Cuba

    The U.S. and Cuba built sudden momentum Friday toward easing half a century of hostility as President Obama met Havana's willingness to discuss sensitive topics, including human rights, with a declaration that he was ready for a "new beginning" in relations.

    Cuba, U.S. drawing closer as new policies thaw frosty relations

    Just days after implementing some of the most dramatic changes in Cuba policy in the past 20 years, President Barack Obama cautioned not to expect changes to come too swiftly. A relationship that has been frozen for 50 years, he said, "won't thaw overnight."

    Canada's PM: U.S. approach to Cuba 'has not worked,'

    Although he says the Castro regime in Cuba must embrace democracy and reject its outdated Cold War communist ethos, Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper says the U.S. embargo on the Caribbean nation has not worked.

    Coming to Havana: Dish Network and DirecTV?

    With the uproar about the Obama administration's decision to ease restrictions on travel to Cuba, another element of the new policy has been overlooked: It authorizes American companies to provide satellite TV radio and telecommunications services on the island. The policy removes satellite receivers from the list of restricted technology imports. So Dish Network and DirecTV, presumably, can start selling subscriptions in Havana.

    'Secular' Cuba makes religion a reason to visit

    This is Cuba in the new millennium: an island stronghold whose citizens are directed where to live and work, forbidden to criticize their government and obliged to trudge past Marxist billboards plugging revolution and socialism -- yet who are free to worship as they please. Religion may be anathema to Communist orthodoxy -- the party is the highest power, after all -- and for 30 years after Castro's revolution, Cuba was declared an atheist state.

    Addled by Fidel

    The Congressional Black Caucus delegation that visited Havana last week was naive not to notice -- or disingenuous not to acknowledge -- that Cuba is hardly the paradise of racial harmony and equality it pretends to be. Still, that's no reason for the United States to continue the illogical, ineffective, hard-line policies that have produced an unbroken 47-year record of failure.

    Thaw seems near for U.S., Cuba

    For 50 years, Cuba's 11 million people have endured poverty under the communist regime of Fidel Castro and, more recently, his brother Raul Castro. For nearly all of that time, the U.S. has also maintained a tight economic embargo and barred nearly all of its own citizens from traveling to Cuba.

    Havana stuck in time warp of poverty under Castro, U.S. embargo

    Stepping into the worn Habana Centro neighborhood feels like walking back into the mid-1900s. Colonial-era buildings abut the streets, crumbling from lack of repair; the buildings are beautiful inside -- high ceilings and interior courtyards -- yet sparsely furnished because many Cuban families simply have few possessions.

    One explanation for Cuban officials' ouster

    Carlos Lage and Felipe Perez Roque were involved socially with a Cuban named Conrado Hernández, who was surreptitiously recording their conversations during regular parties at his ranch in Matanzas. Some of those conversations included criticism and off-color jokes about Fidel and Raúl Castro.
