Just what do you do with your spy if he's called a terrorist?
The arrest of accused airline bomber Luis Posada Carriles in Florida poses a thorny problem for US President George W. Bush, who has vowed to battle terrorism anywhere, analysts said. Federal agents arrested Posada Carriles, 77, on Tuesday, two hours after giving a press conference with selected reporters at a secret location in Miami.

Declassified US documents released last week link Posada Carriles to the bombing of a Cubana airliner in 1976, in which 73 people died. They also said the CIA paid him US$300 a month in the 1960s, and he worked for the CIA at least from 1965 until June 1976.

He has already been found guilty for an attempt to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro during a summit in Panama in 2000, but was pardoned last year.
