The antiwar group Codepink had their rally and press conference shut down over the weekend by the anti-Castro Cubans of Little Havana, a neighborhood in Miami…
Here’s a link to the article that appeared in the Sun-Sentinel.
The rally that they were attempting to hold was to call for the addition of Luis Posada Carriles to the FBI’s most wanted list. Posada Carriles is wanted in Venezuela and Cuba for the bombing of Cubana Flight 455 in 1976, as well as several bombings around Havana as recently as 1997.
The US has repeatedly offered safe haven to this man, in spite of immigration fraud charges and, well obviously, a history of terrorism. Wait a minute, wasn’t there supposed to be a big “war” on that or something, I thought maybe I heard about it on Fox News. Oh well, whatever, I guess we’re not at war with ALL terrorists, just the ones that we don’t like. Perhaps his service to the Reagan White House as a key player in the Iran-Contra affair had something to do with it…
His supporters say Posada Carriles is a patriot and a hero in their struggle against Castro’s communist regime.
Another great quote from the article, “Posada Carriles is no terrorist. The terrorist is Fidel Castro,” said Rene Vidal, 77, among those gathered.
Well said Mr. Vidal, not to defend Castro, but all this time I thought that terrorists were people that targeted civilians with violence for political or ideological reasons.
