Release of Ex-CIA Operative Posada Carriles, the Cuban 5, Guantanamo and the
Health of Fidel Castro *
We go to Havana for an exclusive interview with the President of the Cuban
National Assembly Ricardo Alarcon. The Cuban and Venezuelan governments have
repeated their calls for former CIA operative Luis Posada Carriles to be
extradited to stand trial for his role in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban
airliner that killed 73 people. Posada was scheduled to go on trial in Texas
on Friday for immigration fraud but a U.S. federal judge tossed out the
indictment on Tuesday making Posada a free man. Alarcon also talks about the
plight of the Cuban 5, Guantanamo Bay, and the health of the ailing Cuban
President Fidel Castro.

* Commander of 1985 French Bombing of Greenpeace Ship Living Freely in
Virginia -- as U.S.-Paid Arms Dealer *
Twenty two years ago a group of French government agents blew up a ship
known as the Rainbow Warrior off the coast of New Zealand. On board were
activists from the group Greenpeace who were protesting French nuclear
testing in the Pacific. One member of Greenpeace died in the blast. Thirteen
French agents were identified as being directly involved in the bombing but
only two were ever convicted. Now it has been revealed that the commander of
the unit is living freely in McLean, Virginia. Louis-Pierre Dillais is
president of an arms manufacturer with several government contracts.
Greenpeace has urged the Department of Homeland Security to deport Dillais
became of his direct ties to an act of state terrorism. But the Bush
administration has not moved on the request. We speak with Greenpeace
attorney Deepa Isac.
