State-sponsored terrorism revisited

Luis Posada Carriles, a terror suspect abroad, enjoys a ‘coming-out’ in Miami. Much attention has been drawn to Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s statements regarding US-sponsored terrorism, and yet one is unlikely to hear much from the media about the terrorist that the US government continues to harbor. The official position is that Posada cannot be deported to Venezuela because he faces the threat of torture.

Analysts speculate that the U.S. government has dodged calls for prosecution of Posada for fear he would disclose details of CIA involvement in coups, assassination plots and scandals, including the Iran-Contra Affair.
