It is a form of censorship. I didn't say Americans not being allowed to visit Cuba is right either. The question is always when will it actually affect your life. Having lived most of my life under and African dictator I can tell you that they never say anything "wrong". They defend the peace by jailing opposition leaders wanting to hold rallies. Keeping out pesky Western journalists is cloaked as exercising the rights of Africans to self regulate. Everything non-sequitur at best.
