Following up on my blog post of December 4, entitled “It’s Time to End the War against Cuba,” the conservative Heritage Foundation published an article the same day entitled “Three Years as Cuba’s Hostage: Freedom for Alan Gross Still Far Away” by Kathleen Donnelly. The article, which opposed a prisoner swap between American Alan Gross and the Cuban Five, is a good example of how differently conservatives and libertarians view such areas as foreign policy, the military and intelligence establishment, and the U.S. national-security state.
