Quite right, David, and Nick Luft too. I would hope that intelligent
responsible professionals like ourselves would be capable of exercising
our judgement about what to read and what not, and what to believe and what
not. But, if not, let's at least preserve the right to be wrong - a
freedom not always available to the Cubans, I believe.
The fate of fellow professionals in other countries, particularly more
repressive ones, is a legitimate cause for concern. If mischievous
elements seek to misrepresent the facts or in some other way mislead
opinion about such matters, it is scarcely surprising - but better that
than we should allow the view to prevail that these matters are no concern
of ours.
