one man´s terrorist:
As the Bush Administration frees a rightwing Cuban terrorist who blew up a plane years back, the hypocrisy is more and more evident but you have to go to an op-ed page article by Venezuela’s Ambassador Bernardo Alvarez-Herrera to get the background on Louis Posada Carilles, the former CIA executioner. He writes:

“(He tried to assassinate Fidel Castro with C-4 explosives placed in an auditorium packed with students in Panama in 2000). Twenty-two months have passed since Venezuela formally asked for his extradition, offering 2,000 pages of documentary evidence to substantiate its claim, yet the State Department has not even acknowledged receiving the request.

Nor has Mr. Posada been charged with the 1976 attack, even though declassified Central Intelligence Agency documents indicate that his role has long been accepted as fact. Instead, he faces charges of immigration fraud, a travesty that could be equaled only by charging Osama bin Laden with entering and leaving Pakistan without a visa. Finally, Mr. Posada was released on bail on Thursday, even though he is an obvious flight risk and a violent terrorist.”
