He may be a brutal killer, but he's our brutal killer.
Saw this interview on LinkTV - it gets good toward the end:
AMY GOODMAN: Well, the government is clearly investigating something: they’re investigating you and the New York Times. Can you talk about their call for -- their subpoena of both of you for documents in this case?
ANN LOUISE BARDACH: Well, you know, I write in this story -- and on the Atlantic website I give a lot more background for people who are interested in subpoenas and the media issue and the whole background of this -- when Posada was finally arrested in 2005, I got a phone call -- FBI agents were calling me. Now, initially, I chatted, because I’ve always had good relations with various agents over the years. They had been very helpful sources to me. And then, one of them said, “We would like to see all your research, all your files, all your stuff.” And he said something about, “Can we see your FBI/CIA files, along with everything else?” And I said something like, “Why would you want to see my FBI files? You’re calling me from the FBI. I got them from you.” And there was a pause, and it was like, “Do us a favor. We can't seem to find ours.” And I thought maybe that was a joke. Well, evidently they weren’t joking.
And by the way, it’s been very hard to hold onto evidence in the Cubana shoot-down, not just in the Miami FBI office. In the Venezuelan DISIP, when Hugo Chavez was elected president, there was a huge, I was told, destruction of files, many, many files going back, not just this case, but many other sensitive cases. There was a fire, a mysterious fire, in the Trinidad police department that took their files. It’s interesting to me how hard it is for various intelligence agencies to hold onto their files in the Cubana shoot-down or anything related to Luis Posada and Orlando Bosch.
