I'll have to look up some of the articles from last year again.... The saga of the Cuban who blew up the civilain airliner with the Cuban national Olympic Team on it stretches back some decades... (he was one of the Bay of Pigs fighters, and has long been associated with both American support, and the fight against Castro.) It flared up into the Press again only last year because he was arrested (for immigration violations) in Miami, I believe, and his extradition was requested by Panama, by Venezuela, and by Cuba, possibly others such as Interpol. (He had previously been convicted in a court of the bombing, escaped jail in Venezuela, etc., etc.) The stories from last year (when this immigration matter was being considered at the highest levels of the American government) referred to the involvement of the V.P.'s office in the final decision (we neither prosecuted him for the immigration violations, nor extradited him to any countries where he would have been tried...), as Cheney has a long political record of support for the Cuban exile cause, and this particular Cuban exile leader, going back across several administrations.... Just goes to illustrate the old political truth, I guess: "One man's 'Terrorist' is another's 'Freedom Fighter'."
