- The Cuban American National Foundation says its license to provide hurricane relief aid was renewed, but with a new condition: donors cannot earmark contributions for specific individuals in
I read the interview with that young guy, Eliecer. Very intelligent and precise when describing Cuba's problems, including the terribe situation in many hospitals and lack of good medical care, with so many doctors abroad. And Fidel giving away meds. to other countries as hurricane relief!
ReplyDeleteWhy the stipulation on CANAF?
ReplyDeletewhats the deal about not for specific family members?
more insanity?
it's a political stunt by CANF, trying to turn U.S. policy all up in knots to help their candidate Joe Garcia try to beat Mario Diaz-Balart. It's all exile politics.

ReplyDeleteI actually think the US Government (appropriately) realized CANF was targeting a lot of money to a certain sector of people and that it had nothing to do with need or providing effective relief (ie. their favorite dissidents). It would not hold up or look good in any kind of audit. The Feds are a little more sensitive of this sort of thing nowadays (after all the fraud scandals).
