Foreign Correspondent: U.S. Hypocrisy on Cuba Continues
State Department âterror listâ includes countries that aren t terrorists and excludes those who are.
Iâve always been puzzled by the State Department list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. It supposedly designates countries aiding terrorist organizations. But it includes countries that donât support terrorism and excludes countries that do.
Ronald Reagan put Cuba on the list in 1982, falsely claiming Cuba was supporting terrorist movements in Latin America.
Currently the list consists of North Korea, Syria, and Iran. Missing from the list are U.S. allies that actually do sponsor terrorist groups: Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
