The Politics of Cuba Travel
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 10.14.03 | 9:12 PM ET
I have long disliked the U.S. ban on travel to Cuba. It has done absolutely nothing to encourage the bearded, cigar-smoking, hours-long-speech-giving tyrant Fidel Castro to leave. So I was intrigued to read about a Web site created by former CIA agent Phillip Agee promoting travel to Cuba. Among other things, Cubalinda.com features a Web page aimed at U.S. readers with the headline, “Give No Information and Pay No Fines!” Wired.com features a story about the site. The article notes that Agee, a leftist agitator, has long been accused of spying for the Cuban government and once had his passport revoked during the Carter administration.
