American hypocrisy

Lest we forget, the American government is still working behind the scenes to protect admitted terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. The US is resisting extradition of Posada to either Venezuela, with which it has an extradition treaty and therefore an obligation to comply as Posada is a dual Venezuelan / Cuban national, or Cuba. The government is even considering a request for US citizenship.

Should the government fail to extradite Posada or, in lieu of that, put him into indefinite custody (Guantánamo Bay would be the perfect, if ironic, choice) it will prove conclusively that "war on terra" is indeed just an illegitimate exercise in noveau imperialism.
