Political prisoners
[from The Seattle Times's Politics & Government column]
"What's lost by embracing a tyrant who puts his people in prison because of their political beliefs?" Bush said in reference to Castro. "What's lost is it will send the wrong message. It will send a discouraging message to those who wonder whether America will continue to work for the freedom of prisoners."So it's the fault of the Cubans that those poor 'political prisoners' are being held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp?

It looks like Internet Solutions forgot some old reverse DNS records when updating things, and re-used the address for infrastructure.
