Cuba's Removal from Terrorism List Overcomes Another Hurdle

The removal of Cuba from the U.S. government's list of state sponsors of terrorism overcame another hurdle as Republican lawmakers in Washington indicated that they would not challenge President Barack Obama's decision to take Havana off the list. Right-wing legislators acknowledged that Congress could not legally prevent Obama from doing so. However, the GOP legislators said they plan to oppose lifting the blockade of the island, even though all opinion polls show that the majority of the U.S. public would favor such a move. teleSUR
