—Un cable de Parmly (20 de febrero del 2008) comenta el encuentro con jóvenes cubanos:

Youth groups agree that their biggest problem is getting out information which is now largely word-of-mouth. There were several complaints that the outlets devoted to Cuba news are nearly completely focused on the traditional dissident movements. Many participants in the meetings expressed admiration for several long standing opposition leaders but clearly said that neither they nor the Cuban exile community represent the thoughts of Cuban youth.

—Otro cable de Farrar, fechado el 6 de enero de este año, comenta las relaciones bilaterales, la detención del contratista Alan Gross y el impacto de la blogosfera cubana:

The conventional wisdom in Havana is that GOC sees the bloggers as its most serious challenge, and one that it has trouble containing in the way that it has dealt with traditional opposition groups. The “old guard” dissidents mostly have been isolated from the rest of the island. The GOC doesn’t pay much attention to their articles or manifestos because they have no island-wide resonance and limited international heft. For a while, ignoring the bloggers too seemed to work. But the bloggers’ mushrooming international popularity and their ability to stay one tech-step ahead of the authorities are causing serious headaches in the regime. The attention that the United States bestowed on XXXXXXXXXXXX, first by publicly complaining when she was detained and roughed up and later by having the President respond to her questions, further fanned the fears that the blogger problem had gotten out of control.

Supongo no haya duda de a qué nombre corresponden esas XXXXXXXXXXXX
