Since many people believe the Cuban high power operation is in

Radio/TV Marti went away.


The administration and Congress are about as likely to remove Radio/TV
Marti as George Bush is likely to resign next week. It doesn't make
much sense to have programming which can't be heard easily in much in
Cuba but I must admit that I prefer a war of radio signals to an actual
invasion or US sponsored attempted coup in Cuba too.

It is indeed shameful that the US can't just negotiate with Cuba and has
Cuba hesitating to buy US agricultural products once againbecause they
might be attached as assets by US Courts but that's life under the
present political setup with no improvement in sight. The US probably
would do just as well offering to broadcast Cuban broadcasts over some
local stations in exchange for the Cuba doing the same for Cuban
stations as it's doing now but that's probably also something to hope
for in vain.
