Posada Carriles

I live in a country that resides on such an aggressive line for stopping terrorism that its government has taken it upon themselves to abducting people from all over the globe and jailing them. We jail them for indefinite periods of time and torture them because some other bad source said they were terrorists. This is a sketchy (and to me, intolerable) practice, but I can at least grasp the rationale behind it: pore-emptive lockup. But today we let a man go who all but admitted to the New York Times that he was behind an airline bombing that killed 73 people, and has been linked number of hotels and nightclub bombings. We let him go (he was on trial not for terrorism, but immigration charges) because the judge felt his rights were violated by the agents interviewing him. So we just let an avowed terrorist go live the rest of his life in Miami because a)he was bombing pro-Castro Cubans, b)we trained him how to do it, or c) because we a prosecutive force are completely inept and inconsistent. Oh, and because it would totally piss off Venezuela and Cuba. Thanks for the double standard.
