Goldberg goes to Cuba

You can't make up a story this good.


Fidel Castro and I apparently have the same tastes in journalists. 

I am late on posting this, but there was an interesting interview with Jeffrey Goldberg (National Correspondent at the Atlantic) and Julia Sweig (Director of Latin American Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations) this morning on The Diane Rehm Show about their conversations with Fidel Castro a couple weeks back.

"Fidel: 'Cuban Model Doesn't Even Work For Us Anymore,'" The Atlantic. Sept. 8, 2010.
