How goes the war on terror? In the U.S. the answer seems
to depend on just who is being terrorized. This week
Cuban-born Luis Posada Carrilles officially applied for
U.S. citizenship. Posada has been charged with a number
of terrorist activities in Venezuela and Cuba, including
blowing up a civilian airliner in 1976, which killed 73
people including members of Cuba's Olympic Fencing Team.
He escaped from a Venezuelan prison in 1985 as he was
awaiting trial.
Posada, who has worked for the CIA, successfully fought
Venezuela's extradition request last year when a judge
ruled that he may be mistreated in a Venezuelan prison.
Posada's alleged accomplice in the bombings, Orlando
Bosch, gave a chilling interview on Miami's Chanel 41
earlier this month, where he explained how the Cuban
athletes had brought the bombing on themselves by
representing their country, and therefore 'the tyrant,'
referring to Fidel Castro.

Three days ago in Miami, Luis Posada Carriles'
accomplice in the downing of the Cuban passenger plane
that was blown out of the sky with 73 innocent people on
board on October 6, 1976 was interviewed by Juan Manuel
Cao of Channel 41 in Miami. His name is Orlando Bosch.

interview:
