Last week, Riptide was all about Eduardo Arocena, the Miami dockworker convicted in 1985 of setting off 32 bombs in Little Havana and Manhattan. A certain mayoral candidate (ahem, Tomas Regalado, ahem) seems to have flirted with supporting Arocena back in the day, not that he'll admit it.
We noted how strange it was for Regalado to run away from the Arocena issue in a town that still harbors noted Cuban terrorists such as Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.
Posada, if you're unfamiliar with your violent anti-Castro types, has been convicted in absentia of bombing a jetliner in 1976 that killed 73 Cubans. He's also admitted to planning a series of bombings around Havana in 1997, and was briefly jailed on a plot to assassinate the bearded one in Panama in 2000.
Seems like a pretty bad dude, right? Well, a whole new side of Posada emerged this morning thanks to a recently declassified ream of CIA documents.
