Our Man for Latin America

Replacing Roger Noriega as America's face to the Western Hemisphere is Thomas A. Shannon. In keeping with the trend thus far in W's second administration Shannon represents a change of style rather than substance. Although Oppenheimer opines that there will be less of a focus on Cuba. Well I assume that it's Oppenheimer since the pathetic Miami Herald site doesn't say who wrote the piece and if you click to read his columns it's not listed...God I hate the Herald.
