| Ever since Alan Gross was arrested and incarcerated in Cuba, his supporters have portrayed him as a simple, naà ¯ve American who was doing nothing more than distributing some cell phones to Jewish groups in Cuba. U.S. officials have especially played the innocent, couching their demands for Gross's release in the context of free speech and other principles of a free society. Gradually, however, the truth has come out. What Gross was actually doing was serving as a cog in the U.S. national-security state's decades-long machinery designed to bring regime change to Cuba. |
