MIAMI -- In a live broadcast to Cuba, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman urged the Bush administration Thursday to ratchet up the pressure on Fidel Castro's communist government and help the island nation's dissidents. Lieberman, a Democratic candidate for president, called on Bush in an interview with Radio Marti "to be very aggressive" in implementing the policies the president outlined in a May 2002 address in Miami to provide American aid for the development of civil society in Cuba.
"And what does that mean? Specific support for the dissidents, the freedom fighters in Cuba and not stepping back at all in our position that we will not rest until this regime falls and the Cuban people rise to enjoy their freedom," Lieberman said in a brief interview on the federally funded, pro-democracy broadcasting station that beams into Cuba.
