So You Still Think There's An Embargo, II
Friday, February 18, 2005   By: Juan Paxety

According to Presna Latina, Daniel McNeel, executive director of the port of Gulfport, Mississippi, signed an agreement with Pedro Alvarez of ALIMPORT, Cuba's food import company, to increase shipments to Cuba. It's actually a renewal of an agreement originally signed in 2003.

McNeel goes on to complain that U.S. law insures the shipments go only one way - food export to Cuba is legal, importing anything is illegal. Alvarez says he's like to see U.S. cruise ships arrive.

The article goes on to say that the U.S. now exports more than one billion dollars in food to Cuba.

As I've said before, it's a policy that props up fidel and limits freedom.
