Besides, it's just Cubans, after all, so who really cares, anyway? Let THEM sort it out. A job is a job.

Do the Anita Snow's of the world have any compunction? Do they delude themselves into thinking that they are doing good? Are they just opportunists who go along with the flow, so as not to be kicked out of the country, or are they indoctrinaires who are Castroites at heart? As a journalist, she could help ameliorate the suffering of Cubans like those two boxers who will undoubtedly feel the wrath of Castro's repressive arm. The power of the pen of these journalists is immeasurable, but alas, they use their pens to help Castro not his victims. It's all so tragic.

Snow is too old to be a puppy, and I'm sure she wants her gender clearly acknowledged. The proper term is BITCH. Please get your terminology straight.

Confined is a feel good word for jailed,and how is any punishment acceptable? I haven't seen one article that questions this obvious violation of the boxers human rights.

Anita Snow is worthy of (what I would like to bestow) the "Prensa Latina" Award.

Those people that masquarade as 'real' jounalists and act as loyal members of the "Useful Idiot Brigades" by parroting the agenda of the marxist-fascist ruling class, should be worthy of such an award.

If you notice, Anita Snow does nothing more than give the Cuban government a platform. There is no critical analysis on her part WHATSOEVER. She reprints comments by "Juventud Revelde", she reprints Castro's comments and she says that the boxers were running up an exorbitant bill at the hotel where they were staying in order to hammer in the Cuban Regime's point that they're irresponsible and not real political exiles. Little does it matter that the German manager who was handling them probably willingly paid their "exorbitant" bill. So, what's the point of bringing that up? It's neither here nor there. If Anita Snow were a real journalist or if these boxers had escaped pre-apartheid South Africa, Pinochet's Chile, Somoza's Nicagargua, or Argentina under the generals, undoubtedly, a complete analysis would have been made about what awaits for them back in their country, what's more, Brazil would have been roundly criticized. Instead, Castro is given a free pass, as always. And the worst thing about this deportation is the total lack of empathy on the part of the American press.
