2. It is possible he doesn't realize he has been found out

as having been paid quite handsomely by USAID. I suppose he was told not to discuss any exchanges for the Cuban five. He really did himself no favors by spouting about 5,000 political prisoners when the majority have been released. He is uninformed, his family or US supporters do not appear to help him out with accurate information.

Great point that a similar conversation would not happen between a Havana TV station and the four Cubans in prison.

The big picture also includes the fact that his current life in Cuba is probably going to save his life by improving his health!

I appreciate what he said about Raul in the sense that most Americans do not get to hear anything positive about Raul Castro.

He has a good humanitarian angle regarding his mother and her delicate health.
