Muslims are terrorists, Cubans are not
2 Cuban Activists Plead Guilty
Associated Press Writer

September 11, 2006

MIAMI -- A prominent Cuban activist suspected of trying to procure arms for an attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow President Fidel Castro's communist government pleaded guilty Monday to a weapons charge.

Santiago Alvarez, 65, a wealthy developer and key benefactor of jailed Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conceal illegal weapons. A longtime Alvarez employee, 64-year-old Osvaldo Mitat, pleaded guilty to the same charge.

Their pleas came a day before jury selection was scheduled to begin for a trial before a federal judge in Fort Lauderdale. Alvarez and Mitat had both faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted on the original six-count indictment.

Under the plea deal, each now faces up to five years behind bars when they are sentenced Nov. 14.

These two Cubans have been involved in acts of terrorism for decades. Yet, the US harbors them and the Bush brothers kiss their collective asses. Of course, from AP's POV these criminals are just poor misunderstood activists, who happen to get caught with enough weapons, including C-4 explosives to cause a major bloodbath. This is what the call 'activists'.

2. Some are, but those have ties with the mafia and the CIA,
and the MSM persists in calling them "activists".
