Reuters reports that Monday saw further condemnation of the U.S., more specifically President Obama, in a press conference given by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.
Speaking about the UN Climate Change Conference that recently took place in Copenhagen Mr Rodriguez, previously Cuba's Permanent Representative to the UN, said of the attitude of the U.S. President:
He lies all the time, deceives with demagogic words, with profound cynicism
Asserting that those present in Copenhagen had seen "an imperial, arrogant Obama who doesn't listen, who imposes positions that even threaten developing countries", Mr Rodriguez added
:The Copenhagen summit was a failure and a deception to world public opinion. The cause is clearly evident -- lack of political will by the developed countries
Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua all opposed the UN adopting a non-binding agreement on fighting climate change reached by the U.S., China, Brazil, India and South Africa as they consider it to be an agreement which favors the developed world at the expense of the developing world.
Despite his harsh criticism of the U.S. Raul Castro has signaled his continuing willingness to sit down with President Obama and discuss the differences between their two countries.

Expulsés de Bolivie, un agent arreté à Cuba qui va surement servir de monnaie d'échange contre des prisonniers cubains aux USA, 5 tués au moins en Afghanistan....
Sale temps pour la DAI....(petit exemple de ce qu'est l'aide à la "transistion démocratique cubaine" à la sauce américaine)

he detained American is a subcontractor for Maryland-based Development Alternatives Inc., an economic development organization, the company's chief said Saturday.
"Our prime concern is for the safety, well-being, and quick return to the United States of the detained individual," said President and CEO Jim Boomgard in a statement Saturday. "We have been working closely with the State Department to ensure that the detainee's safety and well-being is given top priority."
The American was involved in a new USAID program aimed at helping the U.S. government "implement activities in support of the rule of law and human rights, political competition, and consensus building, and to strengthen civil society in support of just and democratic governance in Cuba," Boomgard said.
DAI was awarded the USAID contract, called the Cuba Democracy and Contingency Planning Program, in 2008.

Whilst no charges have been laid against the man detained by the Cuban authorities, CNN confirms that he is employed by a Maryland-based economic development organization called Development Alternatives Inc (DAI), Raul Castro is quoted by the Associated Press as saying that the U.S. citizen was:
working to illegally distribute sophisticated methods of satellite communication to members of the 'civil society' which they hope to form against our people
Within a week of the arrest of his employee DAI President and CEO James (Jim) Boomgard stated that the man Havana has so far refused to allow access to U.S. officials was working on a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) project known as the Cuba Democracy and Contingency Planning Program, his role involving the implementation of "activities in support of the rule of law and human rights, political competition, and consensus building, and to strengthen civil society in support of just and democratic governance in Cuba".

Apparemment la DAI a perdu 5 hommes au moins en Afghanistan dernièrement aussi...et je crois que Morales a foutu des membres de la DIA dehors de Bolivie aussi.

Boomgard said his company was awarded the CDCPP contract in 2008. He did not identify the detained employee, but said the individual was working for a DAI subcontractor.
I don't know the name of that subcontractor and, in fact, DAI pledges in its confidentiality agreement to try to keep that name hidden from public view. The agreement states:
Prospective grantees should be aware that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a U.S. law that provides citizens the right to request information about U.S. Government programs and activities. Should an instance arise in which a FOIA request is submitted to the U.S. Government requesting information about the Program, DAI will use its best efforts to protect the identity and confidentiality of Program grantees and beneficiaries.
It's a familiar story. The government and its contractors disclose a bare minimum of details, hoping that no one will try to force them to tell the public how they are spending our tax dollars.

An AID document posted in 2008 revealed details of the CDCP program. It said:
The USAID Cuba Program is soliciting proposals from organizations under USAID's Instability, Crisis, and Recovery Programs (ICRP) IQC to implement the Cuba Democracy and Contingency Planning Program (CDCPP). The base task order is estimated to cost a maximum of $30 million over three years.
According to the document, consultants could receive to $5 million, and subcontractors up to $1 million. The program:
is expressly designed to hasten Cuba’s peaceful transition to a democratic society. To realize Cuba’s successful, political, social and economic transition, Cubans will need considerable humanitarian, technical, training and institutional support...
This task order will fund activities, as appropriate, that provide rapid, transitional support services to advance and consolidate rapidly moving political or economic development opportunities on the island. The task order will establish the means for a rapid and effective USAID response in the event of a crisis or conflict and mitigate the potential for instability in Cuba.
The AID office that oversees democracy programs is the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance, or DCHA.
Many other offices and government agencies also have interests in Cuba. I don't have a good handle on what all the agencies are doing. I don't understand all that AID is doing, let alone other State Department agencies.
But I know this: The U.S government is awash with money destined for Cuba.
I learned of one program while reading Phil Peters' blog, The Cuban Triangle. The State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor funds this venture. The request for proposals sought contractors for the following jobs:
* Break the information blockade by employing high tech communication devices to facilitate communications between activists on the island, foster a nascent civil society, and improve the dissemination of information to and from the island, especially by increasing the communication of democracy and human rights messages. Low-tech projects that serve the same purposes in a creative manner will also be considered. Award: approximately $1.25 million.
* Strengthen ordinary citizens ability to build effective civil society organizations in a transition environment by providing them material support, including electronic communications devices, and training in skills such as consensus building, conflict reduction, stakeholder consulting, and organizational management. Projects that focus on Afro-Cubans, women and youth will be prioritized. Award: approximately $450,000.
* Inventory current legal obstacles to the holding of democratic elections and propose suggestions for repealing or amending such provisions for use by a Cuban Transition Government. Award: approximately $500,000.
* Develop and place public service announcements on commercial radio stations to promote democracy, human rights and democratic transition in Cuba. Award: approximately $300,000.
* Develop leadership, management and communications skills of women currently active in Cuban civil society. Award: approximately $500,000.

A mon avis les blogueurs cubains qui ont reçu du matériel du spy américain ont de quoi etre inquiets.
On va peut etre assister à une négociation pour la libération de l'agent américain contre les cinq derniers cubains détenus aux USA.
Citation :
Le ressortissant américain détenu depuis un mois à Cuba est bien traité et fait l'objet d'une enquête pour son travail présumé pour le compte des "services secrets américains", a déclaré mercredi le président du Parlement cubain, Ricardo Alarcon.
"Comme l'a déjà dit (le président) Raul Castro, ce n'est pas un sous-traitant. Vous savez que c'est une nouvelle institution aux Etats-Unis, les agents, les bourreaux, les espions embauchés dans le cadre de la privatisation de la guerre" en Afghanistan ou en Irak, a déclaré à la presse M. Alarcon.
"Celui-là était un monsieur sous contrat d'une entreprise elle-même sous contrat des services secrets américains, nous avons fait une enquête. Et je peux vous assurer qu'il va beaucoup mieux, mais beaucoup mieux que les victimes des sous-traitants (américains) à travers le monde", a-t-il dit.
Le président de la Cour suprême, Ruben Remigio Ferro, a lui précisé que l'affaire n'avait jusqu'à présent "pas été portée devant les tribunaux".
Des membres de la Section des intérêts américains à La Havane ont indiqué avoir pu rendre visite la semaine dernière à cet employé de la société Development Alternatives, sous-traitant de USAID (l'Agence américaine pour l'aide au développement), arrêté le 5 décembre pour avoir distribué des téléphones et ordinateurs portables au nom de l'administration de Barack Obama.
Le président Raul Castro avait accusé le 20 décembre Washington d'avoir envoyé cet homme, dont l'identité n'a pas été révélée, pour fournir des moyens de communication à l'opposition cubaine clandestine.
"L'ennemi reste aussi actif qu'auparavant et la détention il y a plusieurs jours d'un citoyen américain, désigné par euphémisme par le porte-parole du département d'Etat comme un +sous-traitant+ de son gouvernement, en est l'illustration", avait dit Raul Castro dont le pays réclame depuis des années la libération de cinq Cubains condamnés en 2001 à de lourdes peines de prison aux Etats-Unis pour avoir infiltré les milieux anticastristes de Miami.
Cette affaire est intervenue alors que les relations entre les deux pays connaissent de nouvelles tensions après avoir donné des signes de détente à l'arrivée à la Maison blanche de Barack Obama il y a un an.
Sous embargo américain depuis 48 ans, Cuba a officiellement protesté mardi auprès des Etats-Unis contre son inclusion dans la liste des pays dont les voyageurs sont considérés à risque en ce qui concerne le terrorisme.
Cuba est accusé par Washington d'héberger des membres du groupe basque ETA ou de la guérilla colombienne des FARC.
M. Alarcon a refusé mercredi d'évoquer cette affaire devant la presse. Il a par ailleurs affirmé ignorer quand se déroulerait une deuxième discussion sur les flux migratoires avec les Etats-Unis que les deux pays avaient entamée l'an dernier après une suspension de cinq ans.
