http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/26/obama-camp-declines-comment-on-reported-castro-offer/The Obama transition team declined comment Wednesday on a report that Cuban President Raul Castro might be interested in meeting with the president-elect at Guantanamo Bay, and had told an interviewer Cubans could "send
home with the American flag that waves over" the U.S. base there.
Asked whether he would be willing to visit Washington to speak with Obama, Castro instead suggested to actor Sean Penn Guantanamo Bay could serve as "neutral ground" for discussions. Castro also told Penn, in an interview published in The Nation, that the two leaders "must meet and begin to solve our problems."

Obama came under fire from campaign rivals for his statement at a CNN/YouTube Democratic primary debate that he would be willing to meet without preconditions with Castro and other leaders hostile toward the United States.

Cuba isn't hostile toward the US - its the other way round.
It would be great if Obama went to Gitmo, closed the place down and brought the flag home.
and apologizing for putting the torture stain on Cuba.
