Cuban President Fidel Castro has denied recent
charges by US President George W Bush that the communist island has
become a destination for sex tourists. Speaking at a Revolution Day
ceremony, Mr Castro said "Bush's lies" were made up to justify last
month's restrictions on travel to Cuba by Cuban-Americans. The Cuban
leader also questioned Mr Bush mental capacities, calling him a
"sinister figure" and past alcoholic. Mr Bush said earlier in July Cuba
lured sex tourists to earn hard currency.Mr Castro spent much of his
nearly two-hour speech reading extracts from a recently published book
by a US psychoanalyst who portrays Mr Bush as a man driven by rage and
fear. "He [Bush] depends on religion as a defence mechanism,
substituting thought.... In some ways, he doesn't even have to think,"
the Cuban leader said. [more]
