TERRORIST LUIS POSADA RELEASED ON BAIL!
Extradite Posada -- Free the Cuban Five!
The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition condemns in the strongest terms, the release of
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles from U.S. jail this past Thursday, April 19.
Posada, mastermind of the murders of dozens of people, while acting on
behalf of the CIA for more than 40 years, was freed from a New Mexico jail
and flown to Miami, despite worldwide protests. His freedom on bond is until
May 11, when his trial on immigration-fraud charges begins. But a dangerous
precedent is already in place, with Posada being allowed to fly into Miami
to meet and strategize with other terrorists, those who have helped finance
his bombing campaigns.
The move to free him is widely known to be the result of a blatant refusal
by George W. Bush and administration officials to declare Posada a
terrorist. Without such a declaration or prosecution for his terrorist
crimes, federal judges have ruled that a detainee cannot be held
indefinitely in immigration jail.
Right now U.S. authorities have only charged Posada with immigration fraud.
But Posada is not simply an immigrant. He is an avowed terrorist who never
renounced his crimes. Although convicted in the past for some of his crimes
in other countries, he has always managed to escape and carry out more
torture and killings.
In the meantime, other notorious anti-Cuba terrorists in Miami have been
caught with massive arsenals of weapons but only received extremely light
sentences for their crimes. One, Santiago Alvarez, actually brought Posada
into the United States illegally, on boat, in March 2005. He was caught with
weapons caches but was only sentenced to four years and promised an even
lesser sentence if he reveals the whereabouts of all his weapons.
Posada's release is a green light to U.S.-directed terrorism against Cuba.
Take action today!!
There are two very important actions you can do:
1. Help build the May 11 protests that will be held in El Paso, New York
City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and elsewhere. That is the day that
Posada's "trial" on immigration fraud in El Paso will begin. Please
volunteer to help leaflet events and phonebank. Make a donation to help the
mobilizing!

******************
Luis Posada Carriles's history
Posada, Cuban-born, was recruited into the CIA soon after the Cuban
revolution in 1959. At Ft. Benning, GA, he was trained extensively in
explosives and sabotage in order to try to debilitate--through the means of
terrorism--the new socialist society that the Cuban people were building.
Posada's terrorist history spans four decades. He is most notorious for the
Oct. 6, 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner, which killed 73 people. The two
mercenaries whom he paid to plant the bomb, Freddy Lugo and Hernán Ricardo,
confessed immediately afterwards that they were working with the CIA, and
Posada was their boss. Posada's favorite method is to pay mercenaries to do
his dirty work. But he always procures the explosives and builds the bombs.
Not coincidentally, George Bush Sr. was head of the CIA in the 1970s when
the plane bombing and many other terrorist attacks by Posada took place. In
1990, when Posada's direct accomplice in the plane bombing, Orlando Bosch,
was about to be deported from the United States, George Bush Sr. intervened
to cancel his deportation, granting him permanent residence in the U.S.
Because the plane bombing was plotted by Posada and Bosch in Venezuela, the
government of Hugo Chávez has demanded his extradition to Venezuela. But so
far Washington has refused. U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has the
authority and obligation to begin extradition proceedings, but he has
remained silent and refused to act decisively against Posada during the two
years that he has been detained in a El Paso, Texas jail.
This coddling of Posada and other Miami-based, anti-Cuba terrorists flies in
the face of the hypocritical claim by Bush that he is fighting a war against
terrorism.
The most outrageous example of the double standard is the U.S. government's
imprisonment of the five Cuban men who infiltrated the Miami terrorist
groups for the sole purpose of monitoring those organizations and reporting
on imminent terrorist attacks, in order to stop them.
But instead of arresting Bosch and many other Miami terrorists, the FBI went
after the Cuban Five with a vengeance. They were charged with the completely
unsupported allegation of espionage conspiracy, failure to register as
foreign agents, and other charges.
The Five were tried in Miami and convicted and sentenced to four life
sentences and 77 years collectively, in a politically-motivated trial that
is part and parcel of U.S. hostility against Cuba.
Free the Cuban Five anti-terrorists from U.S. prisons! Extradite Posada to
Venezuela!
