FBI speaks to pardoned Cuban exiles
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/9518280.htm
FBI agents questioned three Cuban exiles shortly after they arrived at Opa-locka Airport following their pardon by Panama's president in an alleged plot to kill Fidel Castro.

The information could be used for an investigation into whether the three -- all naturalized U.S. citizens -- violated federal law. The U.S. Neutrality Act bars Americans from trying to overthrow foreign governments not at war with this country.

On Thursday, FBI agents interrogated the three to find out more about the Castro claim that they planned to kill him during a 2000 visit to Panama, according to law enforcement sources. Immigration officials also questioned them.

Meanwhile, the mystery of the whereabouts of a fourth exile and alleged plot mastermind, Luis Posada Carriles, continued Friday with reports that he was in El Salvador or Honduras.

A Miami developer helped arrange for Posada's flight to an undisclosed country and for the charter Lear jet that brought the three men home to Miami. Santiago Alvárez confirmed Friday that the three were interviewed by the FBI at the airport.




Extradition to Cuba would be true justice for these terrorist cretins.

"Extradition to Cuba would be true justice for these terrorist cretins."

I don't agree with the death penalty, but in this case I just might consider an exemption from my position.




edit: Hey, Mika! :hi: Burnham party tonite. Want to be a roadie? Call me back.

3. I think the article headline is supposed to read
"FBI debriefs Cuban Exiles" Isn't that what you do after an Operation?

4. You're right! Who would have expected them to do this to some
American terrorists who just got "sprung" from prison? It looks too strange.

Luis Posada Carriles used to work with our own CIA, in his "junior" terrorist days. He's absolute scum, as are the others.

They are big heros with the right-wing extremists in Miami.
