Uh, by the way, I really liked your recent post about Bushee, Junior. (Never thought I'd hear myself saying that to Junior.)

Terror, Torture Fine for Some
Don't look too hard at the Bush administration's record
by Saul Landau

President George W. Bush has promoted himself as single-mindedly tough on terrorists and those who protect them. "We make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them," he told the nation on Sept. 11, 2001. But while Arab suspects with no evidence or charges against them get "rendered" to other nations or stranded in Guantanamo, two anti-Castro terrorists who destroyed an airplane with passengers aboard are getting kid-glove treatment.

The most dramatic example of Bush coddling Castro-hating terrorists involves Luis Posada Carriles. On Oct. 6, 1976, agents working for Posada and Orlando Bosch, another anti-Castro exile, planted a bomb on a a Cuban commercial plane and blew it up shortly after it took off from Barbados. All 73 passengers and crew members perished. Thirty years later, Posada sits in an El Paso jail cell. Since his airliner "success," he has added new notches to his terrorist gun � including an attempted assassination of Fidel Castro in Panama in 1999.

... and in that Texas jail cell, he has unquestioned support from the US government?

Is there no intellectual honesty left in the world? Try reading the article, eh, guys? The hypocrisy of the administration is ridiculous. If the man blew up a plane, he needs to go to prison, not be protected by hypocrisy.

Washington has since refused to answer Venezuela's request to extradite him to the place where he plotted the airliner bombing. [b]The excuse accepted by the El Paso judge for not considering Venezuela was that Venezuela might torture him. How ironic in light of Bush authorizing torture for terrorist suspects this October. Even more ironic is that there is no credible evidence that Venezuela practices torture. [/b]

He's still in jail.

Please post here when he is released.

But the US has very recently extradited people to countries that practice torture.

You could have also picked this up in the original article if you actually read it.
