US DoD, I guess, what else?

Stupid russkies - there is no US visa involved
in that Guantanamo is *leased* Cuban territory.

No, it isn't.

It is *according to USA*.
Have you spotted the most important "detail" above? :-)

<quote>
The United States assumed territorial control over Guantánamo Bay
under the 1903 Cuban-American Treaty, which granted the United States
a perpetual lease of the area without the Cuban Government
reacting. The current Cuban government considers the U.S. presence in
Guantánamo illegal, arguing that the Cuban-American Treaty violates
Article 52 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, which
declares a treaty void if its conclusion has been procured by the
threat or use of force in violation of international law. However,
Article 4 of the same document states that Vienna Convention on the
Law of Treaties shall not be retroactively applied to any treaties
made before itself.[1]

USA *loves* perpetual abuse of "communist Cuba" based on a century old
"shitty treaty". Guantanamo lager simply continues "traditional spirit
of abuse" ;-)

"Perpetual lease" is an oxymoron. This is a mockery of both law and
common sense.
