WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says in an Associated Press interview that the United States would be “putting people intentionally in harm’s way” if it sent diplomats back to Cuba.
But a new FBI report casts doubt on the initial theory that Americans in Havana have been hit by “sonic attacks.”
The AP has learned that an interim report from the FBI’s Operational Technology Division says an investigation has turned up no evidence that sound waves could have caused the harm. The Jan. 4 report does not address other theories. It says the FBI will keep investigating.
Tillerson tells the AP in an interview he’s not convinced that what he calls “deliberate attacks” are over. He says he still believes someone in Cuba’s government “can bring this to an end.”
Lemme see … the Cuban government has claimed it doesn’t have anything to do with the attacks. Nor is it in their interests to conduct them. They even invited the Americans to send in the FBI to investigate — a completely unprecedented occurrence.
There is a country, however, that would benefit from such diplomatic disruptions. Perhaps Rexxon could ask them about the attacks. Hell, not only does he actively work with (if not for) them, they even gave him a fucking medal.

Can’t do that! Would miff Putin and anger up the anti-Castros in FL and there’s an election coming up and it’s Obama’s fault they’re there in the first place!!!1!!11!
Diplomats necessarily put themselves in harm’s way. The point is not to prevent them from going to countries where they might face danger–it’s to appropriate sufficient funds to provide for their security.
Right…but sending our athletes to South Korea with the Buffoon in Chief’s fingers on the Twitter Machine is just so much collateral damage. Get your lips off his butt and start being the nation’s top diplomat.
Not sure why Tillerson is still at State: He’s wrecked the agency he was assigned to – mission accomplished – time to move on to the next institutional assassination; I hear there are openings and more expected.
