Number of prisoners in Guantanamo bay is over 500, number of political prisoners was just under 300 at thye start of 2005, though it's probably less now.

Nope, you are totally wrong. You really ought to read your own source before using it as evidence. The terms of the lease state that it is invalid if it is used for anything other than coaling and shipping purposes and if it has any commercial uses. So having a concentration camp and fast food outlets is in breach of the contract

From your own source

Theft???

Why don't you actually now that we think of it?

The theft of Venezualan natural resources by foreign MNCs?

Exactly, private propeerty only exists as theft of natural resources.

That's rather odd since you seem quite preoccupied trying in vain to point out our constitution's faults. Not working too well for you, is it? Nope.

More like a theft of what belongs to the people.

That is simply an opinion by the director of a liberal think tank, the Council on Hemispheric Affairs. Obviously the Bush Administration supports a more reasonable opinion that a military prison is ancillary to a naval operation.

With regards to the prohibition on "commercial, industrial or other enterprise within said areas", this is obviously intended preclude operations that would compete with Cuba’s economic interests. I hardly think that a McDonald's, two Starbucks outlets, and a Subway sandwich shop fall within that category.

This explains why you fail to understand it.

Sorry, your syntax leaves me guessing at your point.

So you don't use natural resources to benefit your own portfolio?
