Cuban President Fidel Castro criticized on Saturday the intimacy of the United States PresidentGeorge W. Bush with anti-cuba and terrorist organizations founded in Florida.

Castro made the remarks before over half a million people who gathered in the eastern city of Santiago, the second most important city of the island.

He said that Bush's meeting with anti-cuba and terrorist organizations on May 20 has deprived the U.S. president of moral authority to lead the fight against terrorism.

"He should not meet or admit the presence of the National Foundation American Cuban in Miami who organized hundreds of terrorist acts in Cuba and other countries," stressed Castro.

Moreover, Castro reiterated that Bush should not permit "the stupid invention of lies", that the U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton claimed in earlier May that Cuba was trying to develop biological weapons.

The accusation was made shortly before former U.S. president Jimmy Carter began a historic visit to Havana. Later, the U.S. government cleared the charges, saying that it did not have direct evidence that Cuba had a full-fledged program to develop biological weapons.

This is the third consecutive week that Castro censured Bush after attending several rallies in the cities of Sancti Spiritus and Holguin.
