Cuban Biotechnology: A CDIs first-hand report

A report from the Center for Defense Information (CDI) gives enough insights to arrive to a rational conclusion on the actual mission of the Cuban Biotechnology.

Havana, July 29 - A report from the Center for Defense Information (CDI) gives enough insights to arrive to a rational conclusion on the actual mission of the Cuban Biotechnology. Five top-level experts from the CDI, International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Harvard University (HU) and University of Maryland (UM) performed the research in the Western Havana Bio-Cluster. The team traveled to Havana in 2002 looking for evidences on the implication of major Cuban research institutions in activities different from improving human health and agriculture productivity. After visiting Cuban research institutions, taking photos and videos, talking with scientists and analyzing the information, experts concluded that there were neither evidences of research, development nor manufacture of devices to frighten the humankind.

Terence Taylor (IISS) concluded: ... it would be very unlikely that there is any work on biological weapons..." Gen. Charles Wilhelms (CDI) wrote: ... nothing that we saw or heard led us to the conclusion that they are proceeding on this path." According to the report, Dr. John Steinbruner (UM), Lorena Barbería (HU) and The Hon. Philip Coyle III (CDI) arrived to similar conclusions from different reasoning. The report can be downloaded surfing at the web site http://gndp.cigb.edu.cu or from the CDIs web site.
