American hostage Alan Gross returned home from five years of imprisonment in Cuba.
He is sitting on the right with his lawyer, Scott Gilbert and spokeswoman Jill Zuckman and what the fsck is that picture doing on the wall?
From The Washington Post:
Alan Gross returns to the United States, is greeted by an image of Che Guevara
Alan Gross, the U.S. contractor released Wednesday after five years of captivity in Cuba, was greeted with a, well, surprising art choice while preparing to make a statement on U.S. soil this afternoon.
Visible in the background of a widely circulated photograph of Gross, his lawyer Scott Gilbert and spokesperson Jill Zuckman: An image of Che Guevara, the divisive revolutionary figure.
“Why is there a Che Guevara pic in background?” National Review Online’s Andrew Johnson tweeted.
Others responded with sympathy: “Poor guy gets to his lawyer’s office and has to look at yet another Che glamour shot,” Andrew Grossman tweeted.
Zuckman told The Post via e-mail that the photograph was taken at the Gilbert LLP law firm.
Got to say though, the blaster on the desk is a nice touch...
