Vice President of Venezuela José Vicente Rangel has accused the Bush family of ties with terrorists, especially criminal Luis Posada Carriles.
As CIA chief, George Bush, Sr. sponsored terrorism and later, as President, he pardoned some terrorists including Orlando Bosh, Rangel pointed out during Friday"s launching of the fourth edition of "Pusimos la Bomba...y qué? (We Planted the Bomb... So What?).
The book, by journalist Alicia Herrera, confirms Bosh and Posada Carriles" involvement in the 1976 blowing up of a Cuban civil plane that killed all 73 people onboard.
Current US President George W. Bush, who is trying to protect Posada Carriles, continues pursuing his father"s policy, the Venezuelan top official denounced.
According to Rangel, the White House makes a distinction in terrorism based on circumstances, interests and players, establishing differences between Osama bin Laden (past as opposed to present) and Posada.
