It's like the Bushes never heard of the "hypocrisy." None in their entourage dare tell them what "treason" means.A Known Terrorist Living Among UsOrlando Bosch is the perpetrator of a 1976 bombing of a Cubana airplane carrying seventy-three civilians who were all killed. This was the world's first terrorist action involving the bombing of a civilian airliner. Bosch was recruited, trained, and supported by the CIA. He was then pardoned by the previous Bush administration, and to this day walks freely through the streets of Miami.
Bosch, had been serving a prison sentence but was freed as the result of a campaign launched by Jeb Bush and his right-wing Cuban supporters in Florida. The terrorist activities of Orlando Bosch are fully documented in the book Deadly Secrets by Warren Hinkle and William Turner, who in turn drew their information from a Senate investigation led by Senator Kerry into the activities of the CIA. Evidence showed that the bomb was placed by Cuban-American mercenaries, in the pay of the US Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA. The two terrorists who admitted that they placed the bomb on the Cubana flight—Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch—are currently free, receiving refuge in the United States.
According to the New York Time of August 17, 1989, Cuban right-wing congressperson Ros-Lehtinen met with former President Bush to negotiate Bosch's release. The meeting was arranged by her campaign manager, Jeb Bush, who had earlier met with Cuban hunger strikers also demanding the release. Bosch was pardoned on July 18, 1990 and the New York Times was the lonely voice denouncing Bush's pardon on an editorial published July 20, 1990.
Bosch was a cohort of Posada Carriles, a Cuban pediatrician who became a world renowned terrorist for the CIA. Carriles has taken claim for the recent wave of hotel bombings in Havana, Cuba. Both men were trained together at Fort Benning, Georgia. Bosch was the founder of the "Command of the United Revolutionary Organizations" formed to cooperate with the DINA Chilean secret police and other Latin American repressive organisms in the murder of leftists throughout the region, including the assassination of the Chilean ambassador, Letelier, in Washington, DC.

Jeb Bush appoints terrorist's lawyer to Florida Supreme Court
By Saul LandauPresident Bush has insisted that you're either on the side of terrorists or the side of freedom. If that's true, then his brother, Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida, is on the side of terrorists.
Gov. Bush has just appointed Raoul Cantero III to Florida's Supreme Court. As an attorney, Cantero represented Orlando Bosch in deportation hearings in 1989, and extolled his client's virtues. Bosch, whom Cantero called a "Cuban patriot," is arguably the hemisphere's most notorious terrorist.
In October 1976, Venezuelan authorities accused Bosch of co-authoring a plot that resulted in the explosion of a civilian Cuban airliner, killing all 73 passengers and crew members. A Jan. 23, 1989, report from the associate attorney general's office cited a 1979 House Assassinations Committee document that said that although Bosch denied his direct involvement in the airliner bombing, he nevertheless "said that he approved of it." He called it "a legitimate act of war." The committee report quoted Bosch as saying that, "You have to fight violence. At times you cannot avoid hurting innocent people."
In 1985, Venezuelan authorities tried Bosch in connection with the airliner terrorism but acquitted him, even though, at his trial, "evidence was presented that the two men convicted of homicide in connection with the bombing were in contact with Bosch both before and after the bombing," according to a Jan. 23, 1989, U.S. Department of Justice brief. Venezuela had declared its intention to retry Bosch when he fled to the United States without "valid documents," according to the Justice Department.

EXCERPT...
Man with a PastCritics say that Reich was involved in a slew of questionable domestic activities connected to the Iran-Contra scandal. A 1987 government investigation concluded that Reich's "Office of Public Diplomacy" had "engaged in prohibited, covert propaganda activities," like writing and submitting fake letters to the op-ed pages of U.S. newspapers as if they were from Nicaraguan contra leaders.
The Office, headed by Reich, was set up by President Reagan to sell the contras to the American public as freedom-fighters, and to counter domestic criticism of U.S. involvement in the Central American civil wars. Reich is also said to have personally harassed journalists critical of the administration's Central American policies.
Later, as ambassador to Venezuela, from 1986 to 1989, detractors say Reich tried to get a U.S. visa for convicted terrorist Orlando Bosch, a Cuban exile involved in dozens of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and abroad. Bosch allegedly masterminded the 1976 mid-flight bombing of a civilian Cuban airliner off Barbados, which resulted in the deaths of 73 men, women, and children, including Cuba's entire youth fencing team. He eventually entered the U.S. illegally in 1988 and, as he was about to be deported, Bush, the father, overrode his own Justice Department and allowed him to stay in the country; later, before leaving office, Bush granted him a presidential pardon.
In his later incarnation as a corporate Washington lobbyist and anti-Castro advocate, Reich helped draft the 1995 Helms-Burton Act, which tightened the Cuba embargo by, among other things, penalizing foreign companies with business ties to Cuba, and allowing suits against them. These provisions could benefit Bacardi and Co., Reich's main lobbying client during the last decade (it has paid his consulting company $600,000 in fees since 1996). Now based in the Bahamas, the firm, whose Cuban holdings were nationalized by Castro in 1959, has been enmeshed for years in an international lawsuit against business rival Pernod-Ricard S.A. of France and the Cuban government over the Havana Club rum trademark.
