Jimmy Carter’s Ill-Timed Visit to Cuba

Heritage  "The meeting will gloss over the Cuban regime’s unwavering support for Libya’s Muammar Qadhafi and condone the travesty of Fidel’s comparison of U.S.–NATO actions in Libya with the Fascists/Nazi attacks on Republican Spain in the 1930s.
"The visit will undercut the harder line taken by President Obama just last week in Santiago, Chile. There, in his major Latin American policy speech, Obama voiced frustration with the absence of democratic change in Cuba and reminded his audience that the Cuban people are “entitled to the same freedom and liberty as everyone else in this hemisphere.”"

Why is Jimmy Carter really in Cuba? "There's a lot of speculation that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter flew into Cuba Monday morning with a hidden agenda--gaining the release of U.S. contractor Alan Gross jailed for more than a year before being sentenced to 15 years in a two day trial for sedition earlier this month."
