Damn...

February 8. The Kennedy administration prohibits travel to Cuba and
makes financial and commercial transactions with Cuba illegal for U.S.
citizens.

I seem to recall he was a democrap.

At the time, given the state of the "Cold War," the move was probably
justifiable. I might even go so far as to support the idea that it was
justifiable up until the fall of the Soviet Union, though I find it
reprehensible that any country should say to its Citizens, "Here you may not
go." But with the fall of the Soviet Union, any pretense that the US Embargo
of Cuba was an issue of "National Security" has crumbled away. Now it's
supposed to have something to do with...what, exactly? If Fidel is so evil,
why hasn't the US simply gone Abu Grahaib on his buttocks?

Anything this putrid has to be about money and power. I just can't see who
the players are.
