There has been a broad and comprehensive media blockade on any news related to five Cubans unjustly charged and convicted in Miami in 1998, who have been held since then in US prisons for... ,essentially, fighting illegal and nefarious acts within the Miami Cuban community against Cuba.

The Miami Cuban Five are supported by hundreds of solidarity groups around the world, including in the US, and this case exemplifies that the "permanent war on terror," as Peter McLaren calls it, a war, which, apparently, does not include stopping such activities on US soil when directed at Cuba.

The irony of holding folks suspected of terror acts on Cuban soil (Guantanamo) while not prosecting those intending to destabilize Cuba is rich and sickening at the same time. In sum, these five men sought to stop aggression against Cuba, infiltrated hostile and violence-oriented groups in Miami, and, unbelievably, transmitted their findings to the FBI, who, rather than stoppping the aggressors, who have killed people in Cuba, arrested the Cuban Five.

As Martin Luther King so eloquently said: "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps perpetrate it" and "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
