9. There's very interesting history behind him and Orlando Bosch |
|
Bosch and Carriles are both accused of planning the Cubana Flight 455 bombing with the assistance of Pinochet's government (who at the time was US backed).
Bush Sr. was director of the CIA during the Cubana Flight 455 bombing in which 73 people were killed. Documents released in 2005 prove the CIA knew about the plot to bomb flight 455 BEFORE it ever happened.
Years later when Bush Sr is president, Orlando Bosch is in Venezuala facing criminal charges for the flight 455 bombing. Bush Sr's Venezuala ambassador, Otto Reich, got Bosch released and moved to the US. Soon after arriving in Florida, Bosch was arrested for a parole violation (from a previous terrorist attack he was convicted for in 1968) and was awaiting deportation. The Bush Sr Presidential administration intervened to prevent Orlando Bosch from being deported and had him released from jail. This all happened AFTER Bush's own AG called Bosch an "unrepentant terrorist". Bosch walks the streets of Miami a free man to this very day.
So why did Bush go to so much trouble to protect a terrorist who planned the murder of women and children? A plan who Bush himself almost certainly had first hand prior knowledge regarding?
The time for congressional hearings on this matter are long overdue. Bush needs to answer for what he did. Those 73 completely innocent people deserve justice.
