A congressional aide tells Reuters that the Cuban government is resisting the release of several of the 53 people the U.S. government has said were to be freed as part of a thaw in relations. Cuba reportedly linked them to acts of violence, Information about those to be freed, including their names, has not been divulged by the White House. The lack of information about the prisoners has provided ammunition for critics of Obama's restoration of ties with Havana. Their release could help the White House ease doubts about its plans before the start of formal talks expected later this month between U.S. State Department officials and the government of Cuban President Raul Castro. http://bit.ly/1ws4htQ http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
