Nice piece, InOBU. Hope you disseminate it. Posada was in the news recently. it is indeed shameful: Demonstrations were held throughout Cuba after a U.S. court released terrorist Luis Posada Carriles from a Texas jail. Posada is to go to trial May 11 on charges of entering the U.S. "illegally." But the people of Cuba want him to be tried for blowing up a commercial Cuban airliner in 1976.... http://www.workers.org/2007/world/posada-0503/ Israel is a self-admitted torture and terrorist state, Rapaire. You're talking about crime and I'm talking about state-sponsored terrorism. Oddly, some of the crimes you mention can be shown to be state-sponsored terrorism, but then you've lived with the myth built up around some of those incidents for so long that you wouldn't be able to distinguish between the myth and facts, so why go into all that? Over 50,000 students were graduated from the School of the Americas, at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Students trained in terrorism. The school had such a bad reputation it was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Strategic Cooperation. But it still cranks out terrorists. http://www.motherjones.com/news/hellraiser/2005/03/WHISC.html
