John Kerry

surprising considering his public positions on the SFRC. (The one I think comes out a bit badly is Menendez - as he likely knew what he was jeopardizing to pander to the Cuban American right wing. )

Even in this Miami Herald article they are skeptical of the report as leaning too much to the right - and even that does not show Kerry in a bad light.

I remember when Kerry questioned the funding that was mostly going to rw Cuban Americans and having no positive results. The questioning happened as they wasted money on luxury items that could not possible help bring democracy to Cuba. (

Kerry also questioned the funding for Radio Mardi (?), which was jammed in Cuba - so no one there could listen to it - and it was expensive.

Personally, I like that Kerry has advocated a sane policy given that the Cuban embargo has not worked in the 50 years it was in practice.
