Cuba group takes out ad against Posada

The campaign against Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles reached a pinnacle Friday when the New York Times published a full-page advertisement from a Cuba-based group urging the U.S. government not to harbor him.

The expensive ad inside the A section, framed as an open letter to the families of the victims of 9/11, stresses that there should be no safe harbor for Posada.

''October 6, 1976, was our September 11,'' said the letter, referring to the bombing of a Cubana De Aviación jetliner that killed 73 people. ``Help us keep a terrorist like Luis Posada Carriles, admitted murderer, from gaining protection and impunity in the country where so many people still cry for the victims of the terrorist act that brought down the twin towers on September 11.''

Posada's case has put Washington in the uncomfortable position of being accused of harboring an accused terrorist even as it wages a global war on terrorism.

The letter was attributed to the ''Committee of Families of the Victims of the Cuban Airliner Bombing in Barbados.''

1. Hey, wait...we can harbor terrorists, but others can't?

My God, that sounds almost like a double standard! :eyes:
