Special Privilege: Beyonce, Jay-Z Cuba trip was OK'd by US Treasury Dept

Beyonce and rapper husband Jay Z visited Havana last week on a trip that was fully licensed by the United States Treasury Department, according to a source familiar with the trip, reports Reuters.

The longstanding U.S. trade embargo against Cuba prevents most Americans from traveling to the island without a license granted by the U.S. government.

Governments always like to cozy up to entertainers and grant them special priviliges, only to be called on later for propaganda purposes.
