No Honor Among Revolutionaries

The Latin American Herald Tribune reports Fidel Castro basically sent Che Guevara to his death in Bolivia because Che had become an irritant. The article doesn't say so, but I suspect Fidel was jealous of Che's charisma.

It's Che's picture on the t-shirts, not Fidel's; Che was the rock star. Ironically, all Fidel accomplished was martyrdom for Che, his legend lives on, unsullied by the inconvenient details of his brutality.
