double standard




al terrorista Luis Posada Carriles y se libere a los Cinco Héroes prisioneros políticos.

it's more than a little complicated. the "cuban five" have been held in US prisons for years, the US vowing to never release them due to their alleged terrorist activities. 
the circumstances surrounding their activities were a bit of a catch 22, a double edged sword, and their subsequent capture and detainment made sense if only from a legal standpoint. 
however, it kind of gets you "right there", cough! right in the middle of your "rah, rah! for justice" when a war criminal like Mr Posada Carriles, who is certain to have masterminded the mid-air destruction of cuban flight 445 resulting in the deaths of 73 innocent people, is released from a US prison.

moot or hooey?
Terrorist Miami groups like Comandos F4 and Brothers to the Rescue operate with complete impunity from within the United States to attack Cuba, with the knowledge and support of the FBI and CIA
