Castro Trial Update

Posted by Bill

A little over two weeks ago, I linked to Val Prieto's post about a court case against Fidel Castro that sought justice for the cold-blooded murder of an American pilot involved in the Bay of Pigs operation. The verdict is in and the details are atrocious:

Guilty.
...
In his summary, Judge Dresnick stated he was "repelled" by the mistreatment of Mr. Ray's body by Cuban ofiicials. Testimony and evidence showed that the American Pilot had been executed by the orders of Fidel Castro and then for 18 years his body subjected to inhumane treatment. Mr. Ray's body was beaten on, spit on, urinated upon and manipulated.
In court, the sobbing daughter of the American Pilot stated that this trial was her legacy. "I am my father's daughter," she said. "I fight for the little guy. For those that can't fight for themselves. Just like my father."

Yet people like Oliver Stone, Maxine Waters and various public sympathizers still crow loudly about the Castro regime's legacy of universal health care and high literacy rates, often equating the beauty of Cuba's people and culture with a misplaced sense of noble legitimacy for Cuba's oppressive government.

Read the whole thing.

As ghastly and atrocious as this episode sounds it does not appear that Castro's ghoulishness stopped there. I hope thst this is not the same American but I remember the story of an American that was desanguinated as opposed to excuted quickly so that they could use his blood for injured Cuban revolutionaries.

The thinking behind these atrocities is unfathomable to a regular human being. That Hollywood lefties like DiCaprio, Spielberg and Stone don't understand this shows their moral corruption.
