Reply #50: Just saw Posada's photos, right before reading your post

and read this pertinent info:

(snip) MIAMI — The militant fringe in Miami's Cuban exile community is under FBI scrutiny for a running series of clandestine attacks in Cuba and supporting them in the 1990s.

But any prosecution of U.S. residents could be a political land mine for the new Bush administration, which counts Cuban-Americans as a Republican stronghold in the state that decided the presidential election.

"You'd at least have to get the attorney general to clear it and, given the political realities, they're not likely to prosecute these people," said Philip Brenner, a specialist on U.S. policy toward Cuba at American University in Washington.

The accompanying photo with this article shows Luis Posada Carilles, one of the Miami "exile" bombers/murderers, as if it were only recent. 'Fraid not!



THIS is Luis Posada Carriles, after he had his jaw shot up in Guatemala.


(snip) Posada himself hid out in Zanadu, a Salvadoran beach town. But by interrogating Hasenfus, the Nicaraguans soon identified the mysterious "Ramon Medina" -- the contras' logistics chief -- as the fugitive terrorist, Luis Posada. The Cuban exile was once more a hunted man.

Still, Posada's friends continued to find him work. Salvadoran president Napoleon Duarte hired Posada as a special security adviser. Later, Posada moved to Guatemala where he worked for the state-owned phone company and gave informal security advice to Guatemala's president Vinicio Cerezo.

Then, on Feb. 26, 1990, two cars pulled up next to Posada's black Suzuki jeep as he was heading to work. Gunmen opened fire, riddling Posada's car with more than 40 bullets. One penetrated Posada's chest and grazed his heart. Another cut through his jaw and nearly severed his tongue. Posada fired back and pulled into a gas station before collapsing. (snip/...)
