6 nations refused to take Posada

[Say_What]

The US's favorite Gusano terrorist is refused by six nations just like his pal Orland Bosch Avila who was refused by many more than six until Poppy Bush pardoned him while going out of office.

EL PASO - The U.S. government revealed Monday that it has asked six countries, including Mexico and Canada, to take Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles -- but they all refused.

The disclosure came during a two-hour hearing in federal court, in which an elegantly attired Posada asked U.S. Magistrate Norbert Garney to free him from immigration detention. Posada, 78, has been in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an El Paso detention facility since immigration officers detained him in Miami-Dade County on May 17, 2005.

Venezuela and Cuba accuse the CIA-trained Posada of terrorism, including the bombing of a passenger jet in 1976 that killed 73 people. Posada has long denied involvement.

Monday was the first time the U.S. government has publicly disclosed the number and names of foreign countries it has approached in an effort to remove Posada from the United States. An El Paso immigration judge last year prohibited his deportation to Cuba or Venezuela but ordered his expulsion to any other country willing to take him.

Besides Canada and Mexico, the other countries that rejected Posada were Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador.

1. Let him go face his punishment. He's had a much longer life

than he allowed any of his victims. It's time for him to pay for his sins.

Washington D.C. May 18, 2005 - The National Security Archive today posted additional documents that show that the CIA had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner. The Archive also posted another document that shows that the FBI's attache in Caracas had multiple contacts with one of the Venezuelans who placed the bomb on the plane, and provided him with a visa to the U.S. five days before the bombing, despite suspicions that he was engaged in terrorist activities at the direction of Luis Posada Carriles.

Both documents were featured last night on ABC Nightline's program on Luis Posada Carriles, who was detained in Miami yesterday by Homeland Security.

In addition, the Archive posted the first report to Secretary of State Kissinger from the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research on the bombing of Cubana flight 455. The report noted that a CIA source had overheard Posada prior to the bombing in late September 1976 stating that, "We are going to hit a Cuban airliner." This information was apparently not passed to the CIA until after the plane went down.

There is no indication in the declassified files that indicates that the CIA alerted Cuban government authorities to the terrorist threat against Cubana planes. Still classified CIA records indicate that the informant might actually have been Posada himself who at that time was in periodic contact with both CIA and FBI agents in Venezuela.

4. But of course, it's the 'muriKan way

and it's election year. Gotta have that Gusano vote for the BushWIPES in South Florida. Posada-Carriles is their hero.

5. Oh, some country should agree to take him ...

and immediately ship him off to Venezuela or Cuba.

But in the meantime, such a nation would be at risk -- for harboring a terrorist.
