Bush administration to protect terrorist Luis Posada Carriles

The BBC is reporting that the United States has chosen to reject Venezuela's extradition request for Luis Posada Carriles on the grounds that they have not provided sufficient evidence. If this weren't so deadly serious a matter, it would be quite laughable, because even the declassified CIA and FBI documents on him link him much more tightly to terrorism than any of the people the Department of Homeland Security has arrested in the last several years. In 1998, Posada admitted to the New York Times about his involvement in a string of 1997 bombings in Havana, something they mentioned again in a more recent article on his current predicament, and that is discussed somewhat more thoroughly in a Democracy Now interview with the New York Times journalist who interviewed Posada for the 1998 article. I'm not sure how much more evidence the U.S. government thinks they need to allow Venezuela to bring him before a court.
