Cuban doctors working in Bolivia have saved the sight of the man who executed revolutionary leader Che Guevara in 1967, Cuban official media report.

 

Mario Teran, a Bolivian army sergeant, shot dead Che Guevara after he was captured in Bolivia's eastern lowlands.

 

Cuban media reported news of the surgery ahead of the 40th anniversary of Che's death on 9 October.

 

Mr Teran had cataracts removed under a Cuban programme to offer free eye treatment across Latin America.

 

The operation on Mr Teran took place last year and was first revealed when his son wrote to a Bolivian newspaper to thank the Cuban doctors for restoring his father's sight.

The US gives free health care to criminals everyday... This really isn't news to me. Hell we even let John Hinckley out of jail on a regular basis because he is "in full remission" for what caused him to try to kill Reagan.

I wouldn't call the man who tried to kill Che a criminal. Che was the criminal. He tried to foment a bloody Communist revolution in a country that didn't have any popular support for one.

 

Given that Che Guevera had singlehandedly caused the genesis of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and had almost fatally damaged the Cuban relations with the USSR while doing the same with the US, my guess is Castro wasn't too sad to see him go either.

Further proof that Cuba is hell and Castro is the devil. Communism is coming America!!

 

 

The real criminal is Félix Rodríguez.

There are lots of things that caused the CMC. A big one was Khruschev thinking Kennedy soft and therefore believing that he could assert himself in the Americas.
