What? Don't Have to Blow a Gasket?

Was reading about the release of a single political prisoner at Uncommon Sense, the kind the Cuban authorities say don't exist. Then I hit Reuters, and for once I was relatively happy with the report. Here are some tidbits included:

He [the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National
Reconciliation spokesman Elizardo Sanchez Santa Cruz
] said Cuba has
the world's highest per capita ratio of political
prisoners.

... the [Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation] report said the human rights situation had not improved since ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro handed over power to his brother Raul Castro more than a year ago.

*I know it's a little awkward, but I want to be fair in ascribing the source.
