Just in time for the 3 day weekend to start and the news to be swept under the carpet, the Bush Crime Family announced today they will not allow extradition of Cuban
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. Batista suopporter and CIA opperative Posada holds Cuban and Venezuelaen citizenship, and invoking an 1922 extradition treaty, the Chavez gov't would like to bring him to
trial
for the crime of bombing a civillian Cuban airplane and killing all 73 people on board. Posada has admitted guilt to fellow CIA ops, and remained unscathed in Miami, supported by Jeb and Dubya in their efforts to retain all anti-Castro neofacists under American rule and safety.
More Under There. Just Flip it.
Chavez is pissed, with good reason, and is threatening an end to US/Venezulean diplomatic relations. Unfortunately, this would more likely hurt the Venezuelans, as we have seen the Bush Crime Family support 2 attempted coups to overthrow the
democratically elected, civillian supported Chavez government. We want their oil. Chavez isn't falling for it. Breaking ties with the US could be just the reason the US gov't needs to finish him, and insert yet another puppet dictator into a S. American country.
Tonight Mike Malloy's show on Air America mentioned how interesting it is that we can kidnap, torture and kill
innocent civillians in Iraq and Afghanistan with impunity, claim to be fighting a
War on Terror and then refuse to actually aid in prosecuting an
admitted terrorist. God damn the hypocrisy that is allowed to go unchecked. Top this off with the fact that
Cuba has been seeking extradition on Posada since 1997, when he had re-entered the country and bombed a hotel, killing tourists.
