Fidelito, Hollywood's Favorite Politician

Humberto Fontova, author of the definitive and detailed Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant, is interviewed in Front Page:

HF: Let's start with its dimensions: Castro's gulag held more political prisoners, as a percentage of population, than pre-war Hitler's and --yes--even Stalin's. Also, the longest serving political prisoners OF THE CENTURY spent their hell in Castro's Gulag. Senores  Mario Chanes de Armas, Angel de Fana and Eusebio Penalver all served thirty years in Castro's dungeons.  To put this in proper perspective, Alexander Solzhenitsyn served 8 years in Stalin's Gulag.  So here's men who served over THREE times as long-- and who's heard of them? They all live in Miami today. So where's the PBS documentary on them? Where's the 60 Minutes interview with them? Where were the rallies (outside of Miami's little Havana) for their release? Where were the U.N declarations for their release? (Instead their jailer's regime is appointed to the UN's Human Rights Commission!)
