Gore Vidal: Bush Caused US Crisis
Havana, Dec 20 (Prensa Latina) During his recent visit to Cuba, esteemed US
academic Gore Vidal said the US is facing a legal, political and institutional
crisis, and he severely criticized the Bush administration.Vidal's statements were included in a special interview given during his five-day stay in Cuba, which was broadcast on Tuesday at the end of the regular Cuban
roundtable discussion broadcast.If the US people would have had a true free press and some alert media, incompetent George W.. Bush would have never been elected president, as he does not even speak well and becomes exasperated when he tries to read when his advisers are absent.
About Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero, the Five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the United States eight years ago, the US writer said this proved once again that his country is facing a legal, political and constitutional crisis.
The clear-thinking US academician declared that the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York provided a pretext for a coup d etat in the northern nation, the first one in history, in which a group of dishonest people, from an oil cartel, usurped State power and overthrew the Congress.
"This is something that people do not understand, because Americans have very simple minds: what they do not know or have not previously seen, does not exist. They live now in situ, but some day they will discover it, as archeologists, and that won t be at all nice," stressed Vidal.
Being a literay man, Vidal might know what a Potemkin Village is, as in Havana.
