Additonal thoughts on Luis Posada

When I wrote about Luis Posada yesterday I forgot to mention how little coverage this seems to get in that damn "liberal" American media.

Searches in major US newspapers yield the following:
  • NY Times - 3 articles in the past 180 days in which he is described various as Cuban militant, Cuban exile etc. Only 1 article in the last 180 days for Luis Posada + terrorist
  • Washington Post - 6 articles in the past 60 days again described as a militant, Castro opponent etc. 5 results for Luis Posada + terrorist
  • LA Times - one article in the past 180 days which meets both criteria
  • Miami Herald - 18 for Luis Posada in last 180 days reduced to 13 when you include terrorist
  • Houston Chronicle - 29 in past 180 days variously described as an activist, militant et al reduced to 15 when terrorist is included in the search.
You'd think that they weren't proud to have a terrorist in custody!
