Cuba's supreme governing body on Friday pardoned nearly 3,000 prisoners, including some convicted of political crimes.

The Council of State agreed to release 2,900 prisoners, among them inmates who are more than 60 years old or are ailing, women and young people who don't have long criminal records, the island's Prensa Latina news agency reported Friday.

Yea sure. When they free all the political prisoners then they'll be accomplishing something.

Until then all this is, is a slick PR move by the Government to make room for more politico's.

Stalin did this numerous times with the gulags, so I guess we shouldn't be to suprised by the feigned generosity of this municifent Communist Dictatorship.
