Here's a little something I didn't know about Guantanamo

Since Castro came to power in a 1959 revolution the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay has been a flash-point of hostilities between the two countries.

Castro insists the area is illegally occupied by the United States which leases it under a pre-revolution agreement.

Castro refuses to cash U.S. checks for use of the base, which he keeps in a desk drawer to show visitors and reporters.

The U.S. reports I've read never said anything about that. Just that we rent the place from Cuba.

Interesting.

Cuba has just released a statement that claims abuses there, and calls it a concentration camp.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
