Castro Responds To Hopenchange By Cracking Down On Bloggers

For some reason Obama's outreach to Cuba'a totalitarian thugs failed to convey the sense that we disapprove of totalitarian thuggery. Strange, that:
Cuba is further limiting access to the World Wide Web for its citizens, in what many believe is an effort to rein in a small but increasingly popular group of bloggers who are critical of the government. In a move seen as aimed at anti-government bloggers, Cuba is further limiting access to the World Wide Web Only government employees, academics and researchers are allowed their own Internet accounts, which are provided by the state, but only have limited access to sites outside the island. Ordinary Cubans may open e-mail accounts accessible at many post offices, but do not have access to the Web. Many got around the restrictions by using hotel Internet services. But a new resolution barring ordinary Cubans from using hotel Internet services quietly went into place in recent weeks, according to an official with Cuba's telecom monopoly, hotel workers and bloggers.
Remember how Bobby Rush led a delegation of Democrats to Cuba last month, heaped praise on the "survival" of the Cuban regime, and called Castro "an old friend"? Good times.
