Obama invited to visit Cuba
- and bring jailed Cubans with him
Conforme documentos "The Global Intelligence Files", Agency Stratfor, datado em 23.09.2010., já podiamos projetar a aproximação entre os EE UU e Cuba. Neste ano a primeira bailarina de Cuba, Alicia Alonso, pronunciou um amável convite ao Presidente dos Estados Unidos Barak Obama, em um evento:
"I want to invite the president of the United States to come to Cuba with
his wife and lovely children,"
Alicia também solicitou ao governo americano para libertar os cinco agentes cubanos presos nos EUA por espionar exilados cubanos. Completando seu discurso de aproximação, a primeira bailarina de Cuba falou, em inglês:
"I would ask a favor also. Please, to make everyone happy and to feel
happy with all around the world, bring those five Cubans,"
Funcionários da Casa Branca contatados, disseram que não tinham conhecimento formal do convite. Na verdade, a aproximação política de Cuba com os EE UU, já era ensaiada pela área cultural, também nos Estados Unidos. Dois astros de Hollywood, Sean Penn e Danny Glover, aproveitando uma campanha internacional, pediram ao Presidente Obama que intervisse para a liberação dos cincos presos cubanos. Tempos depois, o mandatário americano foi novamente pressionado neste sentido, logo após Cuba começar a maior liberação de presos políticos. Parece que o Presidente Obama, a partir da perda de maioria partidária no congresso, começou a colocar em prática suas ideias políticas e humanitárias.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Obama invited to visit Cuba -- and bring jailed Cubans with him

President Obama has been invited to visit Cuba.

Cuban prima ballerina invites Obama to come
She also asks "a favor": Bring along five imprisoned Cubans
The five had been sent to the United States to infiltrate violent exile
groups
Havana. Cuba (CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama has been issued an
unexpected invitation to visit Cuba -- from the island's 90-year-old prima
ballerina, who implored him to bring along five Cuban agents imprisoned in
the United States for more than a decade.
"I want to invite the president of the United States to come to Cuba with
his wife and lovely children," Alicia Alonso said at an event to call for
the release of the agents, who were convicted of spying on Cuban exile
groups in a hotly debated trial.
"I would ask a favor also. Please, to make everyone happy and to feel
happy with all around the world, bring those five Cubans," Alonso said in
English.
White House officials contacted Wednesday morning said they were not aware
that any such invitation had been received.
The Cubans, known at home as "the five heroes," were sent to Miami to
infiltrate violent exile groups at a time when anti-Castro groups were
bombing Cuban hotels. They were arrested in 1998.
The invitation caps off a week-long international campaign with Hollywood
stars such as Sean Penn and Danny Glover calling on Obama to step in and
release the five.
Last year, the defendants lost their last chance of an appeal when the
U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear their case.
The defense argued it was impossible for the men to get a fair trial in a
city dominated by anti-Castro politics.
Three of the men were handed life sentences in 2001 for allegedly helping
Cuba shoot down two unarmed airplanes that were dropping leaflets over the
island, killing the Cuban-American pilots.
After Cuba began its biggest release of political prisoners in a decade,
pro-Cuba activists stepped up pressure on Obama to respond by releasing
the five Cubans.
