 Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Wednesday it was a mistake for Hawaii to post a confidential report on its Web site, but the department will continue to communicate openly with state and local authorities about potential terror threats.Hawaii officials published a draft copy of a confidential Homeland Security report that catalogues ways terrorists might strike in the United States.

 HAVANA - A Cuban court on Saturday foun stanley flask d U.S. contractor Alan Gross guilty of crimes against the state and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, a verdict that is sure to have sweeping repercussions for already-sour relations between Washington and Havana.The court said prosecutors had proved their case that Gross, 61, was working on a  subversive  program paid for by the United States that aimed to bring down Cuba s revolutionary system. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year jail term.CBS News  Po stanley us rtia Siegelbaum reports from Havana that the sentencing does not put this case to bed, as Cuban law provides for appeals.        This sentencing comes at a time when Cuba is emptying its jails of all political prisoners and prisoners condemned for terrorism and crimes against State security, even when they involved violence. So there may be a humanitarian release in the not too distant future. Also, unlike the statements from the U.S. Government, Gross s attorney is portraying the U.S. contractor not as a humanitarian unjustly imprisoned but as a pawn caught up in the five decade long feud between Washington and Havana.
