The Cuban people have a word for this called desenmascarar. which means to remove the mask. We need to remove the mask of Fidel Castro as a romantic and cigarsmoking friend. he is a murderer and drug trafficker. and he tortures and Imprisons political dissidents. Second. we must reverse our policy since 1995 of returning freedomseeking Cuban refugees and political dissidents to Cuba. and promote the same level of compassion among our allies and friends around the world. At a time when our own State Department classifies Cuba as one of the greatest violators of human rights in the world. it is unconscionable for the President to order the return of these brave people back into the hands of their oppressor. In addition. we should encourage our friends and allies to exhibit the same level of compassion in dealing with the suffering Cuban people.
