MORE CRUSHING OF DISSENT, with this crackdown on journalists who don’t toe the administration line:

The Cuban government has jailed 10 independent journalists — most of whom publish articles on Internet news sites — as part of a larger crackdown against political opposition on the island.

Police went from house to house on March 18, rounding up the reporters and 24 political activists, according to the media watchdog Reporters Without Borders. Authorities confiscated the detainees’ computer equipment, books and papers, the group said.

I sure hope we’ll hear a lot of people denouncing this at the Oscars.
