CUBA POLICY: White House meeting set for Friday
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/world/cuba/6967481.htm

More than 100 Cuban Americans are expected to convene in Washington on Friday for a meeting with White House officials on Cuba policy.

Details of the meeting are sketchy but several of the invited guests said that national security advisor Condoleezza Rice is expected to announce the creation of a Presidential Cuba Transition Commission.

Among the invited guests are local Republican-elected leaders who signed their names to a letter to President Bush in August urging him to make changes to Cuba policy.

The letter echoed the message some Cuban-American leaders have delivered recently to Bush: Get tougher on Cuban President Fidel Castro or risk losing Cuban-American support in the 2004 election.

The Bush administration has said Cuba policy is under review, but no new announcements have been made.

It is not known what role a new presidential commission would play.

WMD accusations maybe?
Maybe more millions of our tax dollars to circumvent the movement towards trade normalization (read: jobs) made by 38 states and Cuba in the last year?
