Associated Press report by way of Stewart Ross.

Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic reports on his blog there what will surely be the headline of an upcoming piece (thus we are all eating up The Atlantic's teaser): in his interview of Fidel Castro, the back-from-the-dead dictator admits that Cuban socialism does not work and isn't worth exporting anywhere.

Now if he would only apologize for all the political prisoners whose lives he's ruined, the opponents he had killed and what not, I think we'd have the beginning of a beautiful confession of a life badly led.

Would that all of his victims could ponder such things in their old age. The old bastard might find it within himself to do the right thing and put a bullet into his head.
