Fidel Castro In Very Grave Condition
HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban leader Fidel Castro is in serious condition after a series of three failed operations on his large intestine for diverticulitis, or inflamed bulge in the intestine, complicated by infection, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reported on Monday.
Castro, who has not been seen in public since last July and whose illness is being treated as a state secret, suffered a serious infection that worsened to peritonitis, the newspaper's Tuesday edition said, citing two medical sources at the Madrid hospital where a surgeon who visited Castro works. The report was posted on the newspaper's Web site on Monday.

I can't help but feel nervous about the Castro's fast aproaching demise. How are Raul and the boys going to handel it and what are the Miami Cuban's going to do? Bick Dick and little George in that white ranch in the DC will propably make sure that the immediate post Castro period will be handled with tact and diblomatic skill that we have become so customed to.
