Here's a funny attack on Paul Berman and his revue of the Che movie.

"Best" quotes include:

"...there may well be a really sad situation in Cuba, which is imperfect—though not to the degree arguably of the United States in regard to liberty and jails—and overreacts to people who have been manipulated by the State Department and CIA. One wonders if the dissident liberals in Cuba have any solidarity with "dissident liberals in the United States demanding fundamental human rights.” One assumes that if the Cuban dissidents were sincere, they probably would, though Berman does not."

That Castro, always overacting!

"If there really is a struggle, it would best be completely divorced from American support, otherwise it pollutes itself. More likely it is a situation in which America is destabilizing Cuba for fun and profit, as is Paul Berman. Would America not jail people who work as registered agents for Al Qaeda or France?"
