Ex-Cuban Foreign Minister on Threats by Militant Exiles & Why Obama Shou...




http://www.democracynow.org - Jailed in the U.S. for espionage, the Cuban intelligence agents known as the Cuban Five say they were in fact monitoring violent right-wing Cuban exile groups, not spying on the United States. Ricardo Alarcón, Cuba's former foreign minister and, up until earlier this year, president of the Cuban National Assembly, has been one of the Cuban Five's most vocal supporters. Alarcón joins us from Havana to discuss the meetings between Cuban authorities and the FBI in Cuba and the threat posed by militant exiles. "If President Obama is really interested in [projecting] a more positive image of U.S. policy abroad, if he is interested in improving relations with Latin America, he better listen to what many governments in Latin America have been telling him: simply, free the five," Alarcón says.
