EL PASO, Texas (AP) - A Cuban militant and accused terrorist is not eligible for asylum in the United States but shouldn't be sent back to Cuba, a lawyer for the government told a judge in the opening day of the man's deportation hearing.

Luis Posada Carriles requested asylum after being arrested in May on charges that he sneaked into the country illegally through Mexico. He was arrested in Miami.

Lead government attorney Gina Garrett-Jackson told the judge Monday that federal officials hadn't yet decided if they would oppose Posada's deportation to Venezuela, where he has been accused of orchestrating the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuba jetliner.

1. Why is it the media REFUSE to mention he's a mass-murdering bomber?

Just a little beyond yer typical "militant." Jeezus.

It really pays to be one of _Bush's chosen people.

2. Doesn't that make him a terrorist..

it's interesting that he was trained by the CIA. Perhaps he knows too many secrets.

6. His extrtadition to Cuba was never likely

But his extradition to Venezuela promises to be more problematical for the govt.

10. You guys don't understand terrorism

Terrorism is what they do to us. What we do to them cannot, by definition, be terrorism. Editors understand this; that's why no mainstream headline will ever call this man an "accused terrorist."

For someone trained in the United States to be a terrorist is a logical impossibility, since by definition, nothing the United States does can be terrorism.

Ever wonder why Bolton is fighting to prevent the UN from adopting an official definition of terrorism? It's because any objective definition leads to the wrong conclusions, namely, that the United States is the world's leading terrorist state.

3. Why does the U.S. harbor murdering terrorist?

[NeoConsSuck]

4. Exactly!

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Imagine the outcry here by the freeptards and MSM if Pakistan came out and said they will no longer prosecute or extradite terrorists.

5. just like the Taliban harboring bin Laden...

"You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists". Remember that one?

And apparently, this administration is with the terrorists.

12. ....they are the terrorists and .......

Shock & Awe
Bring 'em on
Let's Roll
Means of Fear and Doubt
They must be Deterred"You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists".

7. Maybe a precedent for the anticipated request for the

extradition of Robertson to Venezuela.

8. All other nations should refuse and deportation of people we want. n/t
