Asbel,

As I said, come with us and see for yourself.  Our work only helps Cuban music
and is unlikely to be used for torture, which is why the U.S. government gives
us a permit to do it.

By the way, I have personal experience that dissenting points of view are
repressed in Miami at least as much as in Cuba.  I was advised by U.S.
government officials, no less, that I should not publicly express certain
viewpoints there if I valued my physical wellbeing.   Acquaintances who used to
live there also received anonymous messages (although everyone seems to know
that they come from certain political groups) advising them not to say certain
things openly.  If such people one day rule Cuba, how much better will it be?

Having said that, our group has technicians of all political stripes, and is
primarily humanitarian in nature.  All technicians are welcome, and it is the
experience of a lifetime, so please consider coming.  (It's cheap, too, and tax
deductible.)
