Reports from around the country are that traceroutes through sbcglobal
(in Austin, Houston and NJ) are failing with timeout to
havanatimes.org -- yet when we go in through TOR or Comcast or using
overseas services, their routing is just fine. What gives?

I've never had Denver jump before Atlanta but it seems your issue is
overseas in Europe and not Cuba.
Again, the common element in the timeouts seem to be sbcglobal _not_ comcast.

Friends in Alaska and NJ can get through (but not if they use
sbcglobal routers as their first hop).
Fargo, ND times out as well.
From this location it looks aweful... and I am on a sbcglobal line.
