Taking Sides on Terror

Re “Debate Over Tying Cuba to Terrorists,” Aug. 12: Part of the argument against normalizing relations with Cuba is that that country “had a network of terrorist training camps as recently as the 1980s.” Yet in the ‘80s the U.S. government shared military intelligence with Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi military, which undoubtedly helped in its weapons-of-mass-destruction attacks (poison gas) on the Iranians. It is also the era when the U.S. trained the “freedom fighting” terrorists of Osama bin Laden.
