Cruz:
Tu estabas en la Habana, pero La Habana no es toda Cuba, no te preocupes que eso mismo les pasa a casi todos los exiliados, como yo tenía médico en La Habana, en Jatibonico también, como yo comía filete todos los días, el guajiro tambien, etc.
Pero me preocupas, Cruz, me preocupas: estás dudando de la veracidad del FBI y del Miami Herald, eso no le va a gustar al elemento gusanil.
A mi tampoco, porque yo rojeras de toda la vida, con una reputación trabajada, me creía tener el derecho a criticar la libertad de expresión capitalista y llamar mentirosa a la prensa miamesa.
Pero no te aflijas mucho, verás lo que pasa, la gusanería del Nuevo herald, considera que no estais preparados para noticias de ese calibre y por tanto aunque aparece en el anglo Miami Herald por supuesto, a vosotros os lo oculta patrioticamente.
Siento darte este disgusto, pero mira:

UP FRONT | HERALD EXCLUSIVE
Files show how Celia overcame 1960s blacklist
A new batch of federal documents showed that salsa queen Celia Cruz received permission to stay in the United States because she publicly crusaded against communism.
The U.S. government took famed salsa singer Celia Cruz off its blacklist of suspected communists in 1965 because, while in exile, she performed and raised money for anti-Fidel Castro causes, according to newly released records obtained by The Herald.
...
Now, 11 more declassified documents received from the immigration division of the Department of Homeland Security describe Cruz's effort to stay permanently in the United States after she fled Castro's revolution for Mexico City in 1960 with the Sonora Matancera band.
.
But ''at that time, the CIA was very discriminatory,'' he said. ``I would've helped her in any way possible. I had a high regard for her.''
The latest batch of documents also reveals an interesting twist: In the first year of Castro's revolution, Cruz was among some entertainers who sought to play in Miami and New York to raise money for an island rebuilding project in the aftermath of the guerrilla fight that toppled former Cuban strongman Fulgencio Batista.
FBI EVALUATION
''Subject is inadmissible to the United States because of her affiliation with the Cuban Communist youth organization and the Communist Party of Cuba,'' said an FBI memo, dated Sept. 3, 1959.
``She is a popular Cuban singer, and was seeking to enter the U.S. for about two days as a member of a group sponsored by the Cuban Tourist Commission, to make appearances at Miami and New York to raise funds for the restoration of a Cuban city devastated during the recent hostilities there.''
Cruz's husband, Pedro Knight, said in an interview this summer that he was unaware of his late wife's U.S. visa troubles. The couple wed in Connecticut in 1962, while Cruz was splitting her time between New York and Mexico, where she had sought U.S. waivers to perform in the United States.
PD: Como siempre me sales por la tengente, el tema era de Celia Cruz, si quieres planteas una discusión sobre los "arrepentidos".
