that's the article I was too lazy to google
online journal is one of the best investigative sites on the web, as you well know
a huge kudos to the overworked, underappreciated Bev Conover
from the link:
Jeb Bush, who had ingratiated himself with the highest orders of power in the anti-Castro communities of Florida, was the campaign manager for right-wing Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Jeb arranged a meeting for her with his uncle, President G.H.W. Bush, to “negotiate” the release. (New York Times August 17, 1989) In the same article the Times wrote “Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the Republican who seeks the seat of the late Representative Claude Pepper and is the candidate for whom the president campaigned, wants the president to overrule the Justice Department’s deportation order.” 7
On July 18, 1990, Bosch was granted parole on the recommendation or order of George Herbert Walker Bush, and allowed to live under some temporary supervisory restrictions in Miami, although being allowed to walk the streets there and mingle with members of the community. The circumstances of the parole don’t exactly pass the smell test. According to The Washington Post of August 18, 1990: “In June, U.S. District Judge William Hoeveler asked government attorneys why nothing had yet happened on Bosch’s case.
He gave them another month to find a suitable home country for Bosch, and on the eve of that court date, Bosch received the three-page offer for release into house arrest. Justice Department spokesman Dan Eramian said the decision to release Bosch was made for ‘humanitarian reasons,’ but that the government will continue to try to deport him.” That, of course, never happened. He’s still free. As is usually the case with the affairs of the Bushes, other Bosch trails lead to links with the CIA, the Mafia, and covert operations. There are claims that Bosch was a CIA operative.
There’s even a tight connection to Frank Sturgis, the man thought to have killed President John Kennedy. Orlando Bosch was one of the Cuban nationals known to be traveling from Miami to Dallas with weapons on Nov. 21–22. (http://www.aristotle.net/~mstandridge/knollmen.htm).
Bosch’s name shows up in the report of the Warren Commission as one of those investigated in the Kennedy assassination. . In The Nation magazine in 1990, author David Corn wrote: “In yet another parole violation Bosch is now, according to The Miami Herald, organizing a group to raise money to buy and ship arms to Castro’s foes in Cuba. Is anyone in U.S. intelligence watching his outfit today?” Obviously, George Herbert Walker Bush’s need to be re-elected trumped any concerns for public safety and national security.
Bottom line: This case makes the hysterical G.O.P. attention to the Clinton pardon of a fugitive tax cheat look like a political diversion. And it makes Bill Clinton look like Solomon the Wise and Judicious, compared to the apparent abysmal judgment and integrity of the Bushes. And whenever you see the Bush clan purse their lips and speak haughtily of their patrician familial honor and tradition and integrity, remember Orlando Bosch.
Talk about sleaze.
