#9  My son the world traveler visited recently and said it sucked. Took a couple of pics of some empty piazzas and put his camera away, for there was nothing he wanted to remember from that hellhole.

#6  IOW US authorities should pretty much know exactly what they're dealing with and who's behind it. Posted by Elmerert Hupens

Yes to all of the above. I once watched in near panic as a foreign student officer turned around to ask a question of the tower, with an M72 law armed and ready to fire sitting on his shoulder.

I'll bet that foreign student doesn't talk about that much either.

#5  I don't understand why reports of these attacks/phenomena contain so little information.

It does look like they're tiptoeing about something.

Detecting strong inaudible sound waves with proper equipment is trivial. A spectral analysis will reveal information about the nature of the phenomenon.
It should also be possible to get a bearing on the source and some estimate of the source's distance.

IOW US authorities should pretty much know exactly what they're dealing with and who's behind it.

#2  Not enough. That still leaves the 40% vulnerable hostages and too many Cuban spies running around in the US.

Twenty-one U.S. embassy employees in Cuba have been injured and reported symptoms such as hearing loss, dizziness, headache, fatigue, cognitive issues, and difficulty sleeping, the State Department said.
