U.S. asks court to hold alleged Cuban airline bomber (Luis Posada)

The Terrorist George Bush Wants to Protect

“ANY NATION that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime,” George Bush told Congress after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Unless, that is, the “regime” in question is the U.S. government itself.

EL PASO, Texas (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department filed objections on Thursday to a U.S. court's proposal to free an anti-Castro militant accused of bombing a Cuban airliner in 1976, killing 73 people.

The U.S. government had until Thursday to respond to Magistrate Norbert Garney's finding last month that Luis Posada Carriles, 79, a naturalized Venezuelan originally from Cuba, must be freed because the United States has not labeled him a terrorist and has not been able to find a friendly country to take him.

Posada, detained by U.S. immigration since 2005 for illegally crossing the border into Texas from Mexico, has become a political hot potato for the Bush Administration because Cuba and Venezuela have declared Posada a terrorist.
