Congress takes up Posada case

"The case of anti-Castro exile Luis Posada Carriles will be the subject of a congressional hearing Thursday afternoon in Washington that was called by the Democratic leadership in the House.

The public hearing is set for 3 p.m. before the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight, chaired by Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Mass.

"We're going to look into the different ways the government behaves when dealing with individuals who have been detained for similar reasons worldwide," said Delahunt, who favors taking Posada to trial for his alleged participation in terrorist acts.

Or, more correctly, little boots pardons Posada.

He should be water boarded until he confesses. I had the misfortune to once live Miami, those Batista cubans are pure trash.

4. A Kind of Terror He Won't Fight
Doesn't look like Bush is fightin' terror, as best he can. Too many anti-Castro Cuban-American campaign donors, I guess.
