You definitely have a gift for bitch slapping with subtle humor Val. Reading you makes me want to be a better writer. Always.

Perhaps the Judge should resign since he clearly lacks judicial temperment.

Guess this makes Kennedy a terrorist for his involvement, although weak. I wonder is the MSM will bother to make a connection there. I can't get over how liberal a liberal can be. Nothing will surprise me now.

Mr. Posada was first detained because he entered this country "Illegally" as reported by the media.
Now when they refer to others they use the term "undocumented." No matter what you think of Luis Posada this is going to be a trial on defaming Cuban-Americans. Castro and Chavez are comming to the U.N. summit on September 14-16th.
The media blitz is startin already with Jesse Jackson in Venezuela, articles in many papers basically glorifying Castro and Chavez, and just wait until September
We need to fight back and expose these despots. The real terrorist are Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez these useful idiots who defend them

Ditto Alfredo, and, I can't way for the trial of the cuban five to begin, we ain't seen nothing yet. Having been marginalized for decades by the msm, the Cuban American community is the vulnerable spot in the body patriot. We should all just go buy our Korans, because the way things are going the US is going to be declared a terrorist state and the UN will call upon all "good nations" to end this tyranny masquerading as democracy. We are all fucked.

Most interesting; it seems that this trial will be as much a measure of the level of left wing judicial activism as anything else.

I see much good coming out of this (and the spy retrial), for instance a reminder of what President Kennedy did betraying the landing, the presence of Castro spies in the US...

If Bay of Pigs was a terrorist act...

What about Grenada?
Panama?
Afghanistan?
Iraq?

And how much does it take to declare a judge being "on the other side?"

Was the invasion of Normandy a terrorist act?

Awesome rant, Val, and oh so sadly true.

It is doubtful whether any man in history has been tried and exonerated more times than Posada Carriles. In a legal system that presumes you guilty and obliges you to prove your innocence (as is the case throughout Latin America), Posada has time and time again been acquitted of the trumped-up charges brought against him. So I will not put him out to dry with yesterday's laundry because I want to make the point that Cubans are not terrorists. His services to this country (without even considering his services to Free Cuba) entitle him to live out the remainder of his days here.

As for the addled immigration judge in El Paso who wants to know if the Bay of Pigs was a terrorist act, Attorney General González should remove him immediately from this case and assign him to investigate whether the Mexican-American War (1848) was a terrorist war (Lincoln, then a congressman, denounced it as "the most unjust war in history"). Then he can adjudicate whether the genocidal wars against Native Americans were also acts of state terrorism. And when the judge has thoroughly examined every act of terrorism committed by this country PRIOR to 1961, he can then turn his attention to the Bay of Pigs.

Meanwhile, veterans of the Bay of Pigs and their survivors should file a class action suit in Federal Court against the U.S. government for compensatory damages arising from premeditated acts of murder and carnage (ie. terrorism) which the executive branch provoked and sanctioned against members of the Brigade 2506.

And for our Cuban congressmen in Washington, they should immediately re-introduce a Bill in Congress to grant full veterans' benefits to the survivors of the Bay of Pigs, so that these brave and proud men can have the satisfaction of telling the U.S. government to go to hell.

Next year will be the 45th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs and a fitting time for President Bush to invite the survivors to the White House and publicly apologize to them on behalf of his government. Everybody and his uncle is getting apologies from the U.S. government nowadays. But there is no group that is more entitled to one than the Brigade 2506.

Not only has the Cuban Commie press picked up on this, but the following has inspired me to go back on my Jesse Jaqckson diet. I think of him and lose my appetite. The following is from Cubaweb.cu
"Jesse Jackson Slams Pat Robertson on Venezuela

Havana, Aug 29 (AIN) During his visit to Venezuela over the weekend, Reverend Jesse Jackson called evangelist minister Pat Robertson’s recent inflammatory statements against President Hugo Chavez "repugnant, immoral and illegal."

Speaking on his widely viewed 700 Club television program last week, Robertson called for the assassination of the Venezuelan leader as an alternative to going to war. Robertson’s stance was blasted by a host of organizations and renowned personalities from around the world.

Jackson said in Caracas that the Federal Communications Commission, "should prohibit such threats on the airwaves." He added that Robertson’s statements should also be investigated by the Justice Department. "Furthermore they deserve the immediate repudiation by of our president, something that has not yet occurred."

The former democratic party presidential candidate was invited as the main speaker in a ceremony held by the Venezuelan National Assembly to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of a civil rights protest march led by Martin Luther King.

Jackson expressed his, "sincere gratitude to democratically elected President Chavez," and praised his "political vision of inclusion and cooperation as the only path to escape from poverty."
