But, while Castro wants to portray the double visa revocation as a routine matter, is it really? That’s highly unlikely, but today we asked an Embassy official what's the real situation. At an unrelated event - we caught up with Nathan Bland - the US Embassy’s Acting Deputy Chief of Mission and asked him for more details, but - as is customary - he told us the he couldn’t comment on this case.

"Are you able to disclose why his 2 visas were revoked?"
J. Nathan Bland - Acting Dep. Chief of Mission, US Embassy
"We can't really speak on why it was revoked; in fact visa records are confidential so I can't even comment on that matter at all. We did see his statements; I would have to refer you to his personal statement."
