Luis Posada Carriles´ Sinister Links with the CIA

Washington, May 11 (Prensa Latina) From bombings and assassination plots to sabotage actions, notorious terrorist of Cuban origin Luis Posada Carriles boasts a long record of dirty works for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).


Clear evidence of this is provided in documents released by the FBI and the CIA itself, made available as of Wednesday on the Internet by the George Washington University National Security Archive at http://www.gwu.edu/nsarchiv/.



In particular, these files corroborate that the so-called expert in demolition, who is currently seeking political asylum from the government of George W. Bush, "was directly involved in planning the bombing of a Cuban civil plane that killed all 73 people on board."



The texts also confirm that Posada Carriles was involved in planning a Coup d" Etat in Guatemala, and from the early 60s maintained links with Jorge Mas Canosa, the man who later led the Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF) created under then President Ronald Reagan.

1. could you imagine being a grunt in whatever federal office has to make

decisions about this guy's asylum application?

On the one hand, you have to believe that a big part of the mission of your government really is to punish terrorists, and then you have this guy's application and on the other hand people seriously expect you to carefully weigh the possibility that he has a legitimate claim for not being deported to a country which wants to investigate the allegations against him.

But no matter what you believe about your country and about justice, a decision will probably be made about this guy at a much higher level and it will very probably be in total opposition to what you believe the constitution and the legislative process and the excecutive and judicial powers of the US government are all about.
