Cuba
A lementable anniversary
On February 26, 1982, then President Ronald Reagan instructed his Secretary of State to include Cuba in the so-called list of countries sponsoring terrorism, in accordance with the provisions of legislation passed three years earlier, called the Export Administration Act (Section 6).
Government documents of the time offered no concrete justification for considering the island a terrorist country. That empty space was filled over the years with assumptions, journalistic speculation and excerpts from speeches by Reagan and his close associates, who made sickening references to “Cuban influence”.
