EDITOR, The Tribune.

FRED Mitchell states that  one of the reasons for declaring that Cuban detainee Marin was “a flight risk” was that Marin had “previous service in the Cuban military” (sounds ominous doesn’t it).

This statement proves how ignorant and silly  Fred Mitchell is of basic knowledge of Cuban affairs - it should be common knowledge in The Ministry that every Cuban male in Cuba must serve in their Armed Forces at the age of 18.

If ignorance is bliss, Fred Mitchell must be the happiest man in Nassau. He should realise that gross ignorance is 143 times worse than simple ignorance!

In all sincerity and humour.
