Quite so, as I have been saying for the longest time. These "State Department socialists" are basically paving the way for the Bushies to move directly against Cuba, and yes, the O'Reillys and Friedmans of the world are going to cite Leo & Nathan as justification for this. In other words they are providing them with left cover, just as some of your Nation colleagues did for Bush on Iraq, except that in regards to Cuba, this is even more reprehensible.
