this is Divine Strake. we should indict these fuckers for any number of crimes - if we can't get them on anything else, then i'd be happy to indict them for their nomenclature

* lehrer has this thing at the end of the show where they show pix of dead amgrunts 'in silence - as their names and photos become available' - there were ten tonight.
* "Lawyers for detained Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles have announced he has applied for US citizenship. Carilles is wanted in Cuba and Venezuela for his role in a 1976 bombing that killed 73 people aboard a Cuban airliner. He was arrested in Miami last May after entering the US two months earlier."

This from the always readable William Blum:
Bosch had a partner in plotting the bombing of the Cuban airliner, Luis Posada, a Cuban-born citizen of Venezuela. He's being held in custody in the United States on a minor immigration charge. His extradition has been requested by Venezuela for several crimes including the downing of the airliner, part of the plotting having taken place in Venezuela. But the Bush administration refuses to send him to Venezuela because they don't like the Venezuelan government, nor will they try him in the United States for the crime. However, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation (1973), of which the United States is a signatory, gives Washington no discretion. Article 7 says that the state in which "the alleged offender is found shall, if it does not extradite him, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution."(10) Extradite or prosecute. The United States does neither.
[I take that to mean Posada is being sought by Venezuela].
You have to admire the consistent US policy of excusing terrorists currently in favour. 73 dead Cubans and their families deserved better.
yeah - venezuela wants posada. amy goodman is all over this story.
there's no such thing as a 'terrorist in favour' - there are only terrorists and freddom fighters...
