The Spin


Raúl Castro has finally been charged with murder and conspiracy for ordering the killing of four Americans — Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña and Pablo Morales. The Castro regime has operated as a criminal mafia for decades, robbing Cubans blind while facing zero consequences. Holding senior Cuban leadership accountable sets a clear precedent: killing Americans carries a price.

The indictment of Raúl Castro conveniently ignores that Brothers to the Rescue repeatedly violated Cuban airspace after Cuba filed repeated diplomatic warnings — and the U.S. did nothing to stop the provocations. Meanwhile, Washington shielded actual terrorists like Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles, who bombed a civilian airliner killing 73 people. Selective outrage dressed up as justice is still selective outrage.
