WE WANT ACTION AGAINST U.S. SPONSORED TERRORISM AND DEMAND EXTRADITION OF LUIS POSADA CARRILES

Target: GEORGE BUSH, PRESIDENT, U.S.A
Sponsor: Alain Richard, CITIZENS OF THE WORLD

  • Deadline: 4-28-2008
Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles (born February 15, 1928) is a Cuban born Venezuelan national, an anti-Fidel Castro militant, anti-communist para-military and former CIA operative. Posada has been accused of involvement in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner which killed seventy-three people, and has admitted to his involvement in other plots including a string of bombings in 1997 targeting fashionable Cuban hotels and nightspots. In addition, he was jailed under accusations related to an assassination attempt on Fidel Castro in Panama in 2000, although he was later pardoned by the Panamanian authorities. Cubana Flight 455 was a Cubana de Aviación flight departing from Barbados, via Trinidad, to Cuba. On 6 October 1976 two timebombs variously described as dynamite or C-4 planted on the Douglas DC-8 aircraft exploded, killing all 73 people on board.


Declassified FBI report that reads "[a confidential source] all but admitted that Posada and [Orlando] Bosch had engineered the bombing of the airline."

Investigators from Cuba, Venezuela and the United States traced the planting of the bombs to two Venezuelan passengers, Freddy Lugo and Hernán Ricardo Lozano. Both men were employed by Posada at his private detective agency based in Venezuela, and they both subsequently admitted to the crime. A week after the mens' confessions, Luis Posada and Orlando Bosch were arrested on charges of masterminding the attack, and were jailed in Venezuela. Several Miami residents and Bosch met in the Dominican Republic shortly before the bombing and issued a statement declaring their intention of waging a terrorist campaign against Cuba. National Security Archives reveal documents outlining that Posada warned the CIA months before the 1976 bombing that fellow exiles were planning such an attack.Posada escaped from prison with Freddie Lugo in 1977, turning themselves in to the less than sympathetic Chilean authorities. He was immediately extradited, and served a further eight years before escaping again dressed as a priest. According to Posada, the escape was planned and financed by Jorge Mas Canosa, by then head of the Cuban American National Foundation, a group with close ties to the Reagan administration.  Mas then helped Posada settle in El Salvador, where he joined the White House-directed operations in the region.    In 2005, Posada was held by US authorities in Texas on the charge of illegal presence on national territory before being released on 19 April 2007, which elicited angry reactions from the Cuban and Venezuelan governments.  His release occured despite the U.S. Justice Department urging the court to keep him in jail because he was "an admitted mastermind of terrorist plots and attacks," a flight risk and a danger to the community. Washington has refused Venezuela's demands for extradition.

53 5:50 am PST, Jan 29 Ms. Victoria Mary Stong / International Activist Long Island City United States I lost my cousin John Charles Jenkins on Flight 11, My Friend & Former Classmate FF. Lincoln Quappe' of Rescue 2 and my tutor Jorge Morron-Garcia from B.M.C.C. at the World Trade Center. I think I'm EXTREMELY against terrorism! No one should suffer from terrorism and I say to those terrorists; Treat people the way you want to be treated! The United States is a superpower and needs to set an example of civility, equality, true justice and fairness. Everyone IS innocent until proven guilty and DUE PROCESS IS NECESSARY in all cases. Lets not act on emotions but instead use our brains and our well established justice system to determine whether someone is guilty or not. Do not take the law into your own hands, torture people or otherwise you are just as bad as the terrorists or other criminals out there!
52 10:40 am PDT, Aug 28 Mr. Dustin Gritters Sioux Center United States no yes
51 7:28 pm PDT, Aug 26 Mr. Anonymous   Canada No Yes

48 11:39 pm PDT, Jul 23   dana szemereta Buxton United States no no
47 2:41 pm PDT, Jul 17   corey jacob Rochester United States No especially from America. Kind of hipacritical to be fighting terrorism if we are sponsoring it indirectly elsewhere. Absolutely if there is a crime with a suspect the individual is innocent till proven guilty in the court of law. It is in the court of law that this needs to be addressed to ensure human rights are assured.
46 1:45 am PDT, Jul 9   Marcos Monserrat   Argentina No probably
45 11:20 am PDT, Jul 7   Vidya Sims Orick United States No Yes
44 8:36 am PDT, Jul 1 Ms. Ellen Eyerick Burbank United States Absolutely not. YES. And while they're at it, I request the removal of the worst terrorist, Dictator bush.
43 11:42 am PDT, Jun 21 Mr. kenneth wtchoax@gm aildotcom e. t. United States never; and its almost always state-sponsored or permitted and a crass hoax 'require' what a joke; the govt has not behaved with integrity for one moment since early 2001
42 7:26 am PDT, Jun 21   Thanh Nguyen Philadelphia United States Why would you support terrorism? To make another country scared? To show some power? This is stupid. Who in their right mind supports people like those maniac terrorists? People like those terrorist and people who support them are trash and they keep us from having peace or a normal life. We don't want to live in fear. But if the government won't stop it, then I guess we will all have to stand up to the terrorist ourselves and take them down with us. You should stop supporting terrorists and get other countries to stop.
41 6:07 am PDT, Jun 19 Ms. Monique Buckner   United Kingdom No, I do not support terrorism. The U.S. is morally and legally obligated to take action and extradite Luis Posada Carriles so that he can face punishment for his crimes. If the man had a Muslim-sounding name or was from one of the Arab countries, believe me, he would be tortured and sent to disappear into some illegal detention camp, whether guilty or (as is usually the case) innocent.
40 2:28 am PDT, Jun 19 Ms. PAULA D. CASTLES Woodland United States under no circumstances! yes

34 8:54 am PDT, Jun 18   Emad Ali   Qatar no i don't coz crimes can't be justified sure as long as conspiracy extend to many part of the world ,as long as there is hands of cia against free people of the world
33 7:30 am PDT, Jun 18   Michael McLaughlin Eureka United States All war of invasion is and results in terrorism. Atrocities are committed in all wars - innocents who just want to live, die and are maimed. The living earth itself is wounded, and war is useless. Our market society does not need to be protected through attacking socialist societies seeking to protect their citizens. No mental construct is worth a single life. Individual life is a treasure, never to be repeated, and since the universe resulted in this individuation, nothing is more worthy of reverence than a present life - not imagined future lives, not possession, not wealth, false promises of religions, not greed, revenge, nor "valor." The US government has continued to promote fear and terror as the tactics of their enemies, and has increasingly and consistently used these tactics for economic expansion. It is time for better values, morals, and instincts to replace the profoundly evil aggression we commit through our government and our attitudes.
32 6:38 am PDT, Jun 18 Mr. Stephen R Hannon Holbrook United States No, I do not support terrorism no matter what country it comes from. And this applies to the Bush Administration and his Cabal of Corruption and Criminals in the White House. Bush has been using the fear of politics to detract us from the real issues we are facing in Iraq. To fire the men who really know what is going on is ridiculous, just because they know we are not, and cannot win in Iraq. Yes, but I doubt it will ever happen. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was able to sidestep the Constituion to allow torure of innocent men who are being held without the benefit of counsel, and indefinitely. The court finally ruled that Americans cannot be held indefinitely. I'm sure Bush and his thugs will find away around the court ruling.
31 6:08 am PDT, Jun 18   John-Michael Talboo Indianapolis United States Of course not, I'm sane! http://www.care2.com/news/member/636727877/401433 Yes.

29 4:45 am PDT, Jun 18 Ms. Louise Bristow New York United States NO Yes
28 4:40 am PDT, Jun 18   Cate Groves Middletown United States No...and when WE do it we should be doubly ashamed for our hypocrisy and lack of morality. I think we need to to jump right in and do what we can to stop this and address this particular issue.
27 1:13 am PDT, Jun 18 Mrs. Jennifer Martino L'Escala Spain no. Yes, but the measures that are appropriate, as they havenīt yet followed through! Extradiction!

20 10:21 pm PDT, Jun 17 Ms. Corinne De Ciofalo Guell San Francisco United States I do not support torture or terrorism; and especially not from the USA. I expect the USA to tell the world and it's citizens the truth; there is no war on terrorism, it's a pretend war.
19 8:39 pm PDT, Jun 17   Barbara Tomlinson Seattle United States U.S. is #1 terrorist in the world today. I do not support terrorism. U.S. CIA and British MI5 have no clean hands. Not in Iraq; not in the Middle East; and for the U.S., definitely not in Central and South America. Absolutely.
