CUBA, October 24, 2006 .- Cuban Parliament
President Ricardo Alarcon stated that the Bush
Plan s hidden chapter could repeat aggressions
made in the past.
"I have no idea of its content, but I am
thinking about blood, violence, crime, covert
actions and propaganda," said Alarcon.
Addressing an interactive forum on the Bush Plan
and the intensification of the blockade, he said
"There should be a great world movement to
oblige the United States to uncover the secrets
of that chapter," affirmed the Cuban legislative
leader.
The head of the parliament termed the Bush Plan
a "freak to destroy the Cuban nation s
independence and sovereignty," and slammed the
US president s plan for an alleged transition to
a "free" Cuba.
Alarcon said the document earmarks millions for
counterrevolutionaries, and names and persecutes
those who violate restrictions to travel to
Cuba.
The Bush Plan, stated the legislator, mentions
things like internal subversion, prohibition of
trips and the denial of cooperation between the
Cuban Churches Council and its US counterparts.
According to Alarcon, the plan forbids exports
of medical equipment and medicine for the
Operation Miracle, boosted by the Cuban
government to provide free ophthalmologic
surgery for patients with eye afflictions in
Latin America and the Caribbean.
He also pointed out that the plan proposes
attempted subversion of Cuban nickel and oil, in
addition to the severe application of two
chapters of the extra-territorial 1996
Helms-Burton Act. (Cubaminrex-PL)(Cubavsbloqueo) 28-10-2006
New US Intelligence Chief for Cuba and Venezuela
CUBA, Nov 28 , 2006.- US Intelligence Chief John
Negroponte appointed Norman Bailey as "Mission
Manager" for Cuba and Venezuela. Negroponte's
announcement does not state the aims of the
designation nor its ties to a secret annex
contained in the Bush Plan against the island.
Bailey is charged with the task of "leading the
Intelligence Community at a strategic level, by
integrating collection and analysis of data,
identifying and filling gaps in intelligence and
planning and ensuring the implementation of
strategies."
Six similar posts exist in the US intelligence
structure, reported Agence France Press.
Bailey's position was created last August,
Granma daily reported.
Negroponte was the US ambassador to Honduras
during the Iran-Contra Affair and the dirty war
against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua
under the Reagan administration. At the time,
Norman Bailey was also a member of the National
Security Staff. (Cubaminrex- Cuban News Agency)
