In an article published on Saturday by Granma
newspaper, journalist Jean-Guy Allard emphasizes that Cardone
selected the same day neo-colonialism was established in Cuba in
1902.
For the intellectual of Canadian origin, this is another shameful
expression of imperial arrogance, since, in 2004, George W. Bush had
already chosen May 20 to announce his sinister plan of annexation.
Jean-Guy Allard explains that the terrorist’s defense lawyers want
to justify Posada’s crimes based on the fact that he was following
orders from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), while the
Attorney General’s office affirms that the reference to these links
is not pertinent to the study of the 11 charges presented, which
means a chain of time-wasting procedures during which the criminal
enjoys freedom.
That’s how justice works in the nation that keeps The Five in jail
since 1998 for
monitoring the activities of those supporting Posada, a terrorist, a
torturer and an assassin, adds Allard.
Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo
Hernandez and Ramon Labañino remain in prison in the United States,
condemned to harsh sentences for fighting terrorism.
A report issued by Notimex refers to the link of the notorious
terrorist with the explosion of bombs at tourist centers in Havana
in 1997, one of which caused the death of young Italian Fabio Di
Celmo.
Another version, by the Spanish EFE news agency, adds that the
District Attorney’s Office has presented as evidence the interview
published by The New York Times in 1998, in which Posada admitted
his participation in the terrorist acts that had occurred the
previous year in the Cuban capital.
