In this new era of love and kisses with Cuba (which I am not necessarily against) will the latter return the convicted escaped murderer Assata Olugbala Shakur (better known as JoAnne Chesimard) to U.S. custody?

It would be a good indicator of how much Cuba really wants normalized relations with the U.S.

If I were Ms. Shakur/Chesimard, I might be looking for a different place to live right about now.

You think they would give her up? That would be a big test, but I doubt Obama would even ask, but others might.

It is, but it was a long time coming, we were the ONLY nation with such sanctions and with our relations with China and Vietnam it only made the policy in cuba look really hypocritical.

Well considering who cortelyou works for, there is probably little chance of that happening. Remember, this is the same airline who, pre-merger w/ CO, ran away screaming from cut service to FLL and PBI, and only served MIA from ORD and IAD, the latter with RJs only. UA isn't really about expansion these days.

That said, it's probably better for them to leave Cuba to AA and B6 and others (if in fact that happens).
