Why should we believe anything a defector says?
Advertisements [?]
Hannity was saying on his show earlier that some high-ranking Cuban defector is claiming that Cuba is manufacturing biological weapons. He claims that Castro has stockpiles of AIDS, anthrax, botulism, smallpox, and other deadly stuff.

I'm just wondering, why should we listen do a damned word that ANY defector says? It's obvious that they have an axe to grind with their former country. It's very easy to just make up a bunch of shit that we want to believe. Cuba with WMD - makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Who is Cuba going to invade? Who are they planning on using them on? Seriously, Cuba really doesn't have a single enemy in the world, except the US - and that's primarily because we have made them our enemy.

This goes right up there all these alleged "plots" that we've uncovered from torturing suspects in custody. It's all totally unreliable info, yet the RWers eat it up like so much candy.
