[IMC-Editorial] Letter: U.S. Should Not Have Sent Cubans Back

[The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

The U.S. government has committed a monstrous act: it sent back to Cuba the twelve 
escapees who managed, last week, to get within 40 miles of Florida's coast in a boat 
fashioned out of a 1951 Chevy pickup truck.

These courageous escapees, who risked their lives to be free in America, will no doubt 
be thrown in prison and tortured--if not executed like the three men who hijacked a 
ferryboat to flee Cuba in April--by the murderous Castro regime.

It is highly hypocritical for President Bush--and other American politicians--to talk 
about bringing freedom to the world while sending freedom-seeking refugees back to a 
totalitarian dictatorship.

Sincerely,
