Right. A USian, who would be reasonably presumed to have, um, connections with the US Government, that had imposed trade embargos on Cuba for.. um 50 years... Attempting sedition... from a country that has been activily hostile for 50 years. Furthermore the US had a travel ban to Cuba at the time -- he could NOT have been a tourist.
I guess that after 40 years of a trade embargo, allow "humanitarian" exports is a thing -- Thanks, Clinton.
I am not sure that Internet is a humanitarian export. That point could be argued.
With the claim that the Cubans doing the incoming inspection SHOULD have known what the embargoed equipment was... having never seen it. They wouldn't have known what a fuel injector was!
That was a prime example of USian arrogance. Good for him he got out in 5 years.
