A few years ago, Cuban Americans and others were up in arms about the propagandist, overly rosy and in the end inaccurate portrayal of the Castroite health care system in Michael Moore's documentary, "Sicko."
It turns out, the Castro dictatorship shared our pain, banning the film in Cuba out of fear it would create unreasonable expectations among the Cuban people about what they should expect from their health care, according to an American diplomatic cable revealed as part of the Wikileaks releases.
Undoubtedly, the dictatorship thought Moore would do it a favor, using his disdain for American health care and general idiocy to deliver for Cuba a public relations boon. Otherwise, it wouldn't have allowed him into the country.
Instead, Moore got his film banned in Cuba!
What an idiot, and useless — to the Castros — at that.
