Brigadier General John Adams calls for Cuba to be taken off the list of countries sponsoring terrori
WASHINGTON, March 22.—Influential U.S. Brigadier General John Adams has publicly stated that his country should remove Cuba from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism and end its counterproductive and hypocritical policy toward the island, PL reports.
"Cuban presence on the list damages U.S. credibility with almost all of our key allies and puts us at odds with every country in Latin America, who view the listing as capricious and politically motivated," Adams noted in an article also signed by Capitol Counsel David W. Jones, published in The Hill, a U.S. Congress publication.
Retired from active service since 2007 and with much influence in the upper echelons of the Pentagon, Adams accumulated more than 35 years of experience in military missions.
The former U.S. military representative to NATO added that U.S. policy is damaging the interests of businesses and workers by justifying an economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, which is preventing the creation of new jobs.

That's a whole lot more like a non-political military leader, one who truly would faithfully serve his country.
He serves it by speaking his mind and conscience.
I've heard this before, from retired high-ranking officers who've been to Cuba and inspected Cuba's military installations, etc. They were quoted starting well before 2000 saying Cuba is NOT any kind of threat to the U.S. or any other country.
Gotta respect this man. Good for him.
