Here's the latest update on the Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba I just received from Faye Kennedy of the Freedom Bound Center.
July 22, 2005
Update report on the Pastors for Peace Friend shipment Caravan to Cuba.
News from Hidalgo, Texas—July 22: This morning at 7:30am (PST) Kathryn Hall, called from Hidalgo, TX with the following update:
The caravan members slept outdoors in tents and sleeping bags. Caravan members are very very tried and hunger, but they are determined and committed to move forward with the medical supplies. 6 buses filled aid and caravan members will move forward on the journey and 1 bus will remain .The remaining bus filled with aid and computers must stay!!! The US Commerce Department fears the computers will be used to send “terrorist messages.” The caravan members tried explaining the computers are used for “organizing the medical supplies not to send other secret messages”.
Kathryn Hall, Ashley Payne and other caravan members said” thanks for calling, faxing and e-mailing their congressional member and the US Commerce Department.”
We still need your support, Please contact your congressional representative and the US Commerce Department.
The new message: Please allow all the buses with caravan members, aid and computers to continue the journey (Let the 1 bus and computers go!!). They need the computers to organize the humanitarian aid / medical supplies.

Michael Moore doesn't say Cubans are far better off thab americans...
Make sure you find the people who are starving and digging through dumpsters here in the U.S. and get those pics, too. There's millions to pick from.

how do we even know those pics were taken in Cuba? What's the proof?
I have some questions of the "courageous" member of the Bush-Cheney Neo-Con Death Cult who posted those photos.
1. Who are you?
2. Who took those photos?
3. Where and when were they taken?
As typical for a right winger, there is no accountablity or any semblance of an explanation for these photos. Are they real or are they fakes? We'll never know, because like all right wing bozos of darkness, "Photographer" is fundamentally a spineless coward.

This is the man who posted the pictures:

To the Stalinist apologists--
While I don't know anything about who posted these photos, why are they "right wing"? Has it ever occured to you that many leftists think that Castro's 46 years of one man rule is an utter embarrassment to the concept of human freedom.
PS Fuck the Cuban 5
