This website answers questions about US-Cuba relations. I believe it is very reliable given it is written by Stephanie Hanson, an employee of the Council on Foreign Relations, which publishes the internationally respected Foreign Affairs Magazine. The Council on Foreign Affairs is a non-biased think tank committed to accurate, current news. The author seems simply interested on informing her audience with reliable information. She sites her sources with links to external articles, and she provides clear evidence.

Stephanie Hanson is a published writer who covered economic and political development in Latin America for over three years for the Council of Foreign Relations, an independent, nonpartisan organization committed to remaining objective about matters of policy. This article cites the vast majority of its statistics and factual information to reputable sites, and confirms information I knew previously. The information is mostly factual, and seems fairly unbiased. The author's objective seems to be only to inform interested citizens about the topic. This article was published on January 11, 2010, and covers a large variety of topics relating to US and Cuban foreign affairs. 

This website has a clear author (Stephanie Hanson) who appears qualified after a google search revealed her extensive experience and recognition writing about global issues. The Council of Foreign Relations is the site's organization which is a famous, distinguished resource for public and government debate. Information is accurate, grammatically correct, and clearly cites sources. CFR is a nonpartisan organization which aims to be an unbiased facilitator of discussions about world issues. The article itself presents basic facts and allows readers to form their own opinions. The site indicates the date when the article was last revised (January 11, 2010), has a 2010 copyright, and provides up-to-date links. It covers a wide range of points and is pretty long but is well-organized with an introductory outline dividing it into clear sections.

The author is Claire Suddath and she is credible as she write for Time Magazine. There are no spelling errors, and the history is very reliable, plus more information that I did not know. The author's goal is to present information on Cuba's past and how it relates to Obama's actions regarding Cuba. This is a semi-recent article from April 15, 2009, and it offers a good amount of information. It dips into important details, but is not bogged down and provides an easy to read brief history.

Anthony DePalma is a noted journalist for the New York Times, having spent time reporting from various countries in Latin America. This article is a compilation of New York Times coverage of Cuba, Fidel Castro, and US-Cuba Relations. On the right side of the page, there are links to other related sources. The page is easy to read and has a wide range of information. The New York Times is generally a very accurate newspaper, and the article was edited in July of 2010, which is definitely recent enough to have current information on what is covered in the article. This is a good background article, but there are other sources available for more specific aspects.

The United States under the Obama Administration is clearly warming its relations with Cuba

A blog explaining the strain and turmoil of US-Cuba relationships. 

This site is dedicated towards giving countries all around the world access to drinking water, including certain areas of Latin America. This site is not bias because it is sanctioned by the United Nations, which tends to be impartial, especially in non-war related issues. This site, however, should update it's articles more since they seem relatively outdated for 2010. This site as no author, however each article is backed up by facts that are bipartisan to any group.
