Fidel Castro silences Oliver Stone


William F. Buckley notes that Oliver Stone recently spoke of his encounter with Fidel Castro in preparation for an upcoming HBO film. Stone claimed that, "we should look to (Castro) as one of the Earth's wisest people, one of the people we should consult."

Stone's documentary, which was equally gushing in it's support of the dictator, has been indefinitely shelved by HBO, who deemed the film to be "somewhat dated, or incomplete". Apparently HBO had second thoughts after Castro executed 3 hijackers who attempted to defect, and rounded up 75 'dissenters' and threw them in jail for speaking out against his regime.

Who wants to bet that Stone will be the next celebrity to join the 'quit censoring me' crowd in Hollywood?

Who wants to bet that Stone will be the next celebrity to join the 'quit censoring me' crowd in Hollywood?

A bet should have some property of odds tied to it; I've already begun to listen for Stone's squeals of (paraphrasing the Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune guy in The Holy Grail) "Censorship inheriting the system! Censorship inheriting the system! Look at me! I'm being repressed!"
