The island's communist government beefed up security, mobilizing citizen defense militias and asking military reservists to check in daily because of what it says are fears of a U.S. attack during Castro's health crisis.
The White House has insisted no such threat exists, with press secretary Tony Snow dismissing the suggestion that the United States would attack the island as "absurd."
This business with Castro is getting amusing.

J.F.K. pulled out and abandoned fighters on the beaches and jungle many years ago. Some suggest he died because of his treachery. If we weren't going to do anything then, we won't now.
All this talk about Castro possibly dying is amusing, indeed - as if Cuba will magically become a "democratic" wonderland overnight. It certainly wasn't under Batista. A new dictator will rise and take Fidel's place.
... gee, how far away is Venezuela?
