The Havana meeting comes as the Knight Ridder news agency is reporting the Bush administration has established five interagency groups to carry out US policy in Cuba. The groups were formed after Cuban President Fidel Castro announced he was temporarily ceding power to his brother Raoul as he recovered from surgery. The groups has been operating out of the same State Department office in what is described as a “war-room like setting.” Their tasks include increasing support for Castro’s opponents and monitoring the government’s activities. The news comes on the heels of last month’s appointment of a veteran CIA officer as Acting Mission Manager for Cuba and Venezuela. The CIA has mission managers for only two other countries — Iran and North Korea.
