Readers,
I hope that most have not been exasperated by all the news and news/comment
items I have recently posted.
Here is one from News of the Weird that gives a great deal of insight, I think,
into President Bush and the war on terror.
O More News You Probably Missed from the Terror Front:
The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, which is supposed to
track illegal money in and out of the country, admitted to Congress
(in December but made public last week) that it has only 4 full-time
investigators tracking Osama's and Saddam's money but 21
tracking the people who do business with Cuba. In the last 10 yrs,
it has collected, in fines against illegal terrorist financiers, a
whopping 9 thousand dollars
This is a correct report!
The original article appeared in the May 7, 2004 New York Times and is pasted

Bush Proposes a Plan to Aid Opponents of Castro in Cuba
By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS
ASHINGTON, May 6 - President Bush announced a plan on Thursday to use
military aircraft to help American broadcasters reach Cuba and to increase
sharply the money for Cuban critics of the government of President Fidel Castro.
In a White House ceremony to mark his receipt of a nearly 500-page report
on Cuba by a presidential commission, Mr. Bush said his actions would help
hasten an end to the Castro government, which has held power for 45 years.
The measures, which include further restrictions on travel and cash
transfers to Cuba, were embraced by Republican Cuban-American lawmakers and
other adherents of a hard-line position toward Havana, and they were expected to
be viewed as provocative by Mr. Castro.
But the moves ran into a wall of criticism by Democrats and a bipartisan
group of lawmakers, mostly from farm states, who are seeking to take the policy
in the opposite direction. Over the administration's objections, Congress has
steadily sought to increase travel and trade with Cuba in recent years.
Representative Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the lone Cuban-American
Democrat in Congress, accused Mr. Bush of pandering to Cuban exiles in South
Florida, who White House advisers have acknowledged are central to Mr. Bush's
re-election strategy.
"The need and timing of a White House Cuba Commission and its release of a
report today is highly dubious and politically transparent," Mr. Menendez said.
Other critics questioned the plan's expense. Officials said the
administration would cover the costs by taking up to $59 million from other
foreign spending accounts.
Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana and the ranking member of the
Finance Committee, said the new plan amounted to a misuse of taxpayer money.
"At a time when the United States faces very real terrorist threats in the
Middle East and elsewhere, the administration's absurd and increasingly bizarre
obsession with Cuba is more than just a shame, it's a dangerous diversion from
reality," Mr. Baucus said.
The president declined a proposal to cut the payments that Cuban Americans
send to relatives in Cuba, ending an internal squabble within the commission,
officials said. Proponents of cutting or freezing remittances, which have been
valued by the United Nations at more than $800 million a year, said it would
deprive the Castro government of cash, but opponents said it would hurt the most
vulnerable people in Cuba.
The president's plan calls for more closely supervising the cash transfers
and limiting them to direct family members who are not Communist Party
officials. He also called for scaling back family visits from once a year to
once every three years, and cutting back on educational travel to curtail what
officials say is disguised tourism.
Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Miami Republican, praised Mr. Bush
for striking a balance between humanitarian impulses and the desire to keep cash
from reaching Mr. Castro.
"Closer scrutiny of remittance regulations and travel permits will help to
ensure the Castro regime does not plunder the Cuban-American exile community's
hard work and contributions to their family members suffering in the island,"
she said.
But critics countered that the Treasury Department, which enforces
economic sanctions, is already spending an inordinate amount of time on Cuba,
largely in response to domestic political pressure. Of the 120 employees at the
Office of Foreign Assets Control, Senator Baucus said, 21 are dedicated to
enforcing the Cuba embargo and only 4 to tracking the finances of Osama bin
Laden and Saddam Hussein.
Administration officials said the best-financed part of the program would
be to provide $36 million for Cuban dissidents, youth groups and others, most
likely in materials, not cash, delivered through third parties.
Roger F. Noriega, the assistant secretary of state for the Western
Hemisphere, predicted that more dissidents would risk their freedom in coming
months and years, despite a crackdown last year by Mr. Castro that sent about 75
prominent critics to jail, many for allegedly conspiring with the United States.
Mr. Bush approved spending up to $18 million to use a specially equipped
plane to broadcast the Spanish-language government TV station, and its radio
partner, to Cuba. The plane, an EC-130 known as Commando Solo, has been used in
psychological operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and Panama and may be able to
overcome Cuban jamming as it flies in international waters near the island. TV
Marti has been effectively jammed since it was set up in 1990.
