*fair use snip*

Not so fast, I say to myself. President Bush excoriated the terrorists who had done the 9/11 deeds. He even called them “cowards,” which I couldn’t quite understand. But he had a silent qualifying clause: terrorists who want to kill Castro, bomb Cuban targets, hijack Cuban planes or ships, or do any other kinds of violence against Cuba still have the green light from the White House.

Indeed, he, his brother Governor Jeb, from Florida, and his Attorney General John Ashcroft, have made a point of not only harboring, but actually coddling terrorists. On May 20, 2002, Bush specifically invited several notorious terrorists to hear his speech in Miami.

Orlando Bosch at first received an invitation to sit on the platform. Later, when one of his advisers discovered that Bosch had earned the FBI’s label of the Western Hemisphere’s most dangerous terrorist, the seating arrangement changed and Bosch got dis-invited off the platform and moved into the audience. Bosch claimed credit in an interview with the Miami New Times (see Oct. 4, 2001 for further reference) for helping to blow up a Cuban commercial airliner over Barbados in October 1976. The police caught him after he fired a bazooka at a Polish ship in the Miami Harbor in 1967. This former pediatrician has cared little about children’s health, but found his calling in violence and spent much of his adult life after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in January, 1959 practicing that vocation.

Observers noted the Bush family attachment to violent Cubans when President George Bush I (41), with help from Otto Reich, his then Ambassador to Venezuela, overruled strong advice from the FBI and INS and admitted Orlando Bosch into the United States.
