Slate has a nice article pointing out the incredible stupidity of honoring Che Guevara as a freedom fighter. Just a few of the “freedoms” he brought to Cuba:

* Labor camps used to “disappear” dissidents, gays, and AIDS victims.
* Revolutionary firing squads.
* A totalitarian regime.

Yes, a shining example of a freedom fighter if I’ve ever seen one.
