That is, if you're a friend of Ollie North and John Negroponte. And the airplane is Cuban. And Poppy was DCI at some point when the bomber was still a CIA operative.
From the National Security Archive at George Washington University...:
Washington D.C. May 10, 2005 - Declassified CIA and FBI records posted today on the Web by the National Security Archive at George Washington University identify Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles, who is apparently in Florida seeking asylum, as a former CIA agent and as one of the "engineer[s]" of the 1976 terrorist bombing of Cubana Airlines flight 455 that killed 73 passengers...
Carriles is currently "somewhere in Florida", and requested asylum from the Bush administration back in March, as repayment for past services rendered.
His life story reads like a LeCarre novel. It would take a reader just about that long to get through all of the threads and strings to this story.
It's a humdinger. But, hey, he's our terrorist, right? (Links and stuff below the fold)
Carriles is a real man about town. Try Googling -
"Luis Posada Carriles" Kennedy assassination - and see what you get. Not in the mood to google? How about a
Cuban perspective on him - or
this take from Rigorous Intuition?
The bottom line is that this guy, with a terrorism resumé much longer (and more successful) than Dubya's business resumé, is wandering around, unrestricted and whereabouts apparently unknown, on U.S. soil.
Sleep well tonight.
