He is biased, as any exile who has lost family to the firing squads would be. He paints a more accurate picture of the bloody and ruthless mass murdering revolutionary guerrilla Che, than does the usual liberal sop painting him as the romanticized pop icon adorning t-shirts and inspiring college radical wanna-be's.
At risk of sounding like a broken record, do you have a source on that? Wikiquote has that one as "disputed," being an unsourced assertion from an anti-Che article titled "Che Guevara: Assassin and Bumbler" by Humberto Fontova, a fierce anti-Communist partisan who "lathers himself into a rage" when it comes to Che. Read for yourself; is this man within a thousand miles of being objective?
Simply being "Che-ish" is not sufficient. Give the man his own words, please.
