El Nuevo Herald which is written in Spanish, to appeal to a large, and, in the right-wing faction, occassionally exceptionally violent Cubans. You may find the
tone of the articles very strange. There is a small introduction at the top of the page, by a more normal, politically, person:
The plot thickens. Posada's buddies are now redbaiting the Bush administration, of all people on the planet. Such ingratitude! Wasn't the Bush transition plan and all but eliminating possible visits by Cubans in the United States and most others from the US sufficient for these people? Now they seem to think that their guy Posada should be allowed to walk freely, no, TRIUMPHANTLY around the streets of Miami, giving public press conferences about his heroic role in the anti-Castro freedom struggle? We're still not told what charges, if any, will be filed against Alvarez when the matter reaches a court.
We still don't know whether Alvarez will receive the same kind of Club Fed treatment Posada seems to be receiving. One of the most intransigent of the Miami Militants declares ponderously: "Every time Castro complains about something, this government does whatever they have to so that he doesn't get mad," which give us a bit more of the impression there's some falling out among these elements in Miami, as the Herald here suggests. Slowly but surely we may be beginning to find out more of the details about Posada and how he really DID enter the United States. The Miami exiles have had free run of the city for well over forty years, bombing and otherwise terrorizing people who didn't tow their hysterical line against Cuba.
Not sure? Think that maybe this might be a bit exaggerated?

MIAMI-DADE
U.S. arrests key ally of Posada
The action against a close supporter of Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles
could pit the Bush administration against part of a Republican constituency.

Santiago Alvarez, a longtime anti-Castro activist and key supporter of exile militant Luis Posada Carriles, was arrested in Miami this weekend on federal weapons and passport charges -- a move that could cause a clash between the Bush administration and some members of one of the president's most loyal political constituencies.
Alvarez, a wealthy developer, is charged with possession of automatic weapons, including some with the serial numbers obliterated; a silencer not properly registered; and a false passport, Matthew Dates, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Miami, said Sunday evening.

http://www.walterlippmann.com/docs293.html~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As it seems, the airline and hotel, restaurant, and nightclub bomber/mass murderer, Luis Posada Carriles was brought back to the States by these two criminals, Santiago Alvarez and Osvaldo Mitat, two real specimens. They are ALL considered heroes now in Miami, a city named "America's Terror Capital" by the F.B.I. after wave after wave of bombings and other assorted murders were accomplished by these fine folks. You may also remember their great achievements in dirty elections, and exceptionally crooked city commissioners, etc.
