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!
Why the stipulation on CANAF?
whats 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.

I 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).
