CUBA: McCarry claims Cuba will never be the same
Caleb McCarry, the State Department Cuba transition coordinator, celebrated one year in the job last week by claiming that "Cuba is not actually going to be the same after 27 July." He also offered to provide Cuba's opposition with financial aid to usher in "democratic transition". The Cuban government fulminated against McCarry and the opposition rejected the assistance as counterproductive.
