Cuba beatings

The group of Cuban-American businessmen that traveled to Cuba with President Obama was unmasked.

All were welcomed by the weekly beating and arrests of the Ladies in White and other dissidents, and not a single one of them had the decency to condemn it. Of course, if they had, they knew that potential business deals with the dictatorship would vanish. Anything for a buck.

The trip has been called “historic.” I agree — historic greed.

Armando Caravia,
