Fidel's health
Over time, I know I’ve blogged about this a lot, but it never fails to amuse me. A “senior intelligence official” spoke anonymously and gave the best the U.S. has to offer in terms of its appraisal of Fidel Castro’s health. From this font of knowledge, we learn the following:
--80 year olds who wear track suits (oh yeah, still Adidas) and had major surgery probably still have health issues
--Fidel comments a lot on foreign issues, so seems to be following foreign affairs closely
--His health seems to be on the upswing
--He may have more than one ailment
There must be some strategy that I’m missing. Why give an interview proving that “senior intelligence officials” know nothing more than the average person who reads newspapers?

Our intelligence analysis is sadly like the Simpson's quote from "Who shot Mr. Burns?":
He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then taken to a better hospital where his condition was upgraded to "alive".
I was thinking that this "intelligence" reminds me of the i.n.t.e.l.l.i.g.e.n.c.e in Team America. Some lines from the movie...
Sarah: We've lost I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E! I repeat, we have no I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E,!

I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.: [slightly distorted] Greetings Mr. Johnston.
Gary Johnston: What the hell happened?
I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.: Our base was attacked by a giant socialist weasel.
Shoot, I'm trying to think of a good TV/movie analogy, but I'm getting nothing.
