UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Venezuela's Foreign Minister Nicholas Maduro said on Thursday the United States distinguished between "good" and "bad" terrorists, depending on their political leanings.

In an address to the Security Council during a session on terrorism and comments to reporters afterwards, Maduro said the 15-member body should join his country in demanding the United States hand over an anti-Castro Cuban accused of planning the bombing of a Cuban airliner 30 years ago.

"For the government of George W. Bush there are good terrorists and bad terrorists," he told reporters after the council meeting, in a preview of anti-American positions Venezuela is expected to take if it gets a seat on the council next year.

At issue is the case of Luis Posada Carriles, 77, a former CIA operative accused of planning the explosion of a Cubana de Aviacion airliner in 1976 that killed 73 passengers and crew.

If BushCo was serious about fighting terrorism Posada and his buddies would be spending the rest of their lives in prison. Instead, the US is bending over backward to try to figure out a way to set him free again. Got to protect those CIA assets I suppose?
