The Castro Rumour-Mill Returns!

Wikinews is reporting that two websites are reporting the rumour of the death of Fidel Castro. ONe even reported that an official announcement would come at 4pm ET. Well, no such announcement came.

I always have my doubts when it comes to rumours, but just occasionally,as in the Sky Sports 3 case back in 1996, the rumours can be proved to be true. However, as is usual in these situations, I will believe it when it is reported by a trustworthy and reliable news source.

I believe that some of these rumours are started by those who would like to see him dead. They are the ones who believe that a Cuba without Fidel Castro could be won back from the "commies". These were probably the same people who thought that we would be welcomed with open arms in Iraq and that Iran would back down fromthe might of the United States. There is no reason to believe they would be any more correct now than they were previously.
