• Cuba: You can surf the Internet at a tourist hotel, but it’s expensive. What’s more, Cuba’s Supervision and Control Agency will be watching.

You get 5 years in the stir for connecting illegally to the international network.

Can you imagine the outcry, the wailing and moaning, the tearing of garments if this were happening in a RIGHT-wing regime? Sean Penn and company, among MANY others, would be screaming bloody murder. Do you hear a peep from any of them? Um, NO. Not a whisper of protest. Gee, I wonder why.
