"An editorial yesterday in the LA Times called &amp;quot;Fidel Castro, Internet Junkie&amp;quot; says the 84-year-old Cuban reads 200 to 300 online articles a day, and &amp;quot;is fascinated by WikiLeaks&amp;quot;.\r\n\r\nThe LA Times article is based on an lengthy interview Castro did with the Mexican newspaper La Jornada, where he reportedly said that the Internet, &amp;quot;has put an end to secrets.... We are seeing a high level of investigative journalism, as\u00A0the New York Times calls it, that is within reach of the whole world.&amp;quot; He also said that the Internet is, &amp;quot;the most powerful weapon that has existed.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nCastro, however, isn't just an Internet consumer - he's also apparently a prolific blogger (one of about only 300 in Cuba according to the LA Times). So now you know.\r\n\r\n(Note: Isolated Cuba does not have a fiber-optic connection to the rest of the world, and must rely on old underwater telephone lines and for satellite-based broadband to connect to the Internet. The LA Times editorial says that estimates put Cuba's Internet penetration of between 2.6% -13% of the population depending on whether its based on international (the 2.6%) or Cuban government statistics (the 13%). Either way, Cuba has by far the lowest percentage of Internet users of any nation in the Western Hemisphere. Those that do have access face censorship and restriction as well.)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
