From @Fausta, Cuba: #AlanGross released – is Obama ending the embargo in exchange?

Fausta is an expert on Latin American events. She'll be updating her post on Cuba's release of Alan Gross throughout the day.

Does Cuba's move mean that Obama is about to normalize relations with the communist regime, one that holds many political prisoners?

And while Congress would need to end the embargo against the rogue state, Obama has little need for the legislative branch as he owns the famous executive order pen.

Gross should have never been arrested. And Obama should not be using him in a quid-pro-quo exchange with the Castro brothers.
