jay-z and beyonce's trip to cuba presents us with a crime.ither they committed a crime by going there or it is a crime that they get to go there legally and you can't. but the biggest crime of all is the single stupidest piece, the embargo with trade with cuba. of course, beyonce n jay-z and anyone else should be able to go for a vacation to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary as it was originally reported in their case. now that the couple's lawyers are controlling the message, the trip is described as a legal cultural exchange with cuba. but they did bring body guards with them who would not fit under our government's definition of who would be allowed to participate in a legal cultural exchange trip to cuba, they also brought their mothers, beyonce and jay-z's mother came along for the ride. if their trip was legal, they got very special treatment from the obama administration, specifically the treasury department, which authorizes such trips. the couple's lawyers refuse to disclose any detail of the trip, but all indications at this
