Jimmy Carter and cyberwar against Cuba http://www.tiwy.com/news.phtml?id=188

The former U.S. President Jimmy Carter came to Cuba with a three-day private visit. The reason for the visit to Cuba of the elderly politician (he is 86 years old) was his concern for the fate of a U.S. citizen Alan Gross, convicted by the Cuban court to 15 years in prison for “crimes against the independence and territorial integrity of Cuba”. Gross, who is 61, was arrested in December 2009 and accused of organizing the illegal access to the Internet to the Jewish community of Cuba under a program sponsored by the U.S. government. Being a “contract soldier” of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Gross brought satellite mobile communications devices, which is not permitted by local laws to the country.
