I was prepared to learn Dwight Wickham has become a shrieking lunatic.
It was interesting to see he got it right! From your article:
"It's this country that sent Alan on this mission, and Alan is rotting in a jail cell, and I'm asking President Obama to do something about it," Judy Gross toldCBS News in 2012.
She's right. Obama should rescue Gross from that failed mission. He should return to Havana three Cuban spies, members of the so-called Cuban Five, in exchange for Gross. The five men were arrested in 1998 and charged with espionage for coming to the U.S. to spy on Cuban exiles who were plotting terrorist attacks against Cuban targets. Sentenced to lengthy prison terms in 2001, two have been released. Obama ought to send the others home as soon as possible.
In 2010, his administration exchanged 10 members of a Russian spy ring that had been operating in this country for four Russians who were jailed for spying on their country for the U.S. and Britain. Earlier this year, the U.S. swapped five Taliban prisoners for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was a captive of enemy forces in Afghanistan.
Gross' case is more compelling. He was sent into Cuba on a fool's errand and then when caught, was largely abandoned by his government. It's time to bring this ailing man home.
He's definitely not trying to spread the duplicitous propaganda the way we see it done by other corporate "news" people.
