Reply #4: Director: Ros-Lehtinen made kill-Castro comments [View All]

<snip>

"An Emmy award-winning documentarian, angered over Miami Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's charge that a video in which she appears to endorse the assassination of Fidel Castro was altered to make her look more extreme, is circulating another version of the video to make his case.

The uncut version of director Dollan Cannell's video shows Ros-Lehtinen twice welcoming an attempt on Castro's life.

"Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has made a very serious accusation against the team who made the films," Cannell said Tuesday. "You can't get more serious than that in terms of an accusation of gross professional wrongdoing."

"Her accusation is completely, totally false," he added. "I'd like her to retract what she said and to apologize."

Ros-Lehtinen, an ardent opponent of Castro, declined to comment Tuesday on the unedited tape."
