Well I guess Fidel isn't dead - since he just issued a letter denouncing the President's visit.


@Isobel Archer- that's the thing....the photos of him were heavily photoshopped and the AP apologized for the quality.  Some feel the Communist Paper, Granma, is actually writing the letters, not Fidel....just theory, I have no clue

Stray, thanks for clarifying Fidel Castro's status. I thought I saw a picture of him last week with the President, but maybe it was Raul. Who knows? They look so much alike.


@Yardlie- you did see a pic but AP said they were photoshopped and could not guarantee authenticity.  I really don't know if he is dead or alive....some also suggest the communications are written by Granma, the newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party....but I have no clue if he is dead or alive?
