Oops is, yet again, a political term


Ben Mathis-Lilley has a Slate article about recent events in Cuba:
American citizen Alan Gross was freed recently after five years as a prisoner in Cuba; he was imprisoned for attempting to bring communications equipment to Cuban religious groups.
Che Guevara was a revolutionary who fought alongside Fidel Castro, whose brother Raul continues to lead the regime that imprisoned Gross. Guevara's antipathy for human rights and dissent within Cuba is infamous.
In the photo (above) by New York Times photographer Stephen Crowley, note the upper right corner: that's Che Guevara. And no, I don't know what's going on (maybe the picture was taken in Cuba), but I've put in inquiries with Gilbert and Zuckman and will update this post if I hear back.
Rico says of course it was in Cuba...
