Cuba: U.S. Military Transmitting Radio, TV Marti

U.S. military aircraft have started transmitting  Radio and TV Marti to override Cuban jamming of the land-based  signals. President George W. Bush set aside $18 million in May to pay  for the flights. The timing of future broadcasts is classified to  give them a better chance of reaching their intended destinations  in Cuba. C-130 cargo planes are being used to deliver the  broadcasts to the communist island. Miami Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said she's  sure Cuban President Fidel Castro is enraged by the new  transmissions. [more ]
