CIA's 'Red Cell' Hypocrisy on Terror

By Robert Parry
September 4, 2010

The Central Intelligence Agency has scoffed at an internal memo that cites a few terrorist acts by some American citizens as possibly causing foreign nations to see the United States as an “exporter of terrorism.” The CIA notes that the paper came from its “red cell” analysts who are assigned to “think outside the box” to “provoke thought.”

Bush Family Terrorism

Similarly, it is unacceptable to note how the Bush Family has protected Cuban-American terrorists – from 1976 when George H.W. Bush ran the CIA to 2008 when George W. Bush balked at extraditing Posada to stand trial in Venezuela. At times, the hypocrisy was staggering.

On May 2, 2008, more than six years into Bush-43’s “war on terror,” there was a remarkable scene in Miami as Posada, then 80, was feted at a gala fundraising dinner. Some 500 supporters chipped in to his legal defense fund.

Posada arrived to thundering applause. Then, in a bristling speech against the Castro regime in Cuba, Posada told his supporters, “We ask God to sharpen our machetes.”

Venezuela’s Ambassador the United States, Bernardo Alvarez, protested the Bush administration’s tolerance of the dinner. “This is outrageous, particularly because he kept talking about more violence,” the ambassador said.

Posada, a naturalized Venezuelan citizen who worked for Venezuela’s intelligence agency in the 1970s, masterminded the Cubana Airlines bombing in 1976, according to an overwhelming body of evidence compiled by the U.S. government and in South America.

Despite the strong evidence against Posada in U.S. government files, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush made little effort to capture Posada when he sneaked into Miami in 2005. Posada was detained only after he held a news conference.

Then, instead of extraditing Posada to Venezuela to stand trial for a terrorist mass murder, the Bush administration engaged in a lackadaisical effort to have him deported for lying on an immigration form.

During a 2007 court hearing in Texas, Bush administration lawyers allowed to go unchallenged testimony from a Posada friend that Posada would face torture if he were returned to Venezuela. The judge, therefore, barred Posada from being deported there.

After that ruling, Ambassador Alvarez accused the Bush administration of applying “a cynical double standard” in the “war on terror.” As for the claim that Venezuela practices torture, Alvarez said, “There isn’t a shred of evidence that Posada would be tortured in Venezuela.”

1. A civilian airliner with 73 aboard bombed out of the sky -- murdered by Bush CIA.

Poppy’s CIA warned about terror plots and did not stop them

[peacetalksforall]

2. Luis Posada Carilles. Every new person to this era of our history should know his name.

Then find the looooong list of other terrorist acts by the CIA and a select group of Cuban Americans.
Then learn about Northwoods.
Then learn how the US refused to recognize Cuba after the Revolution to take over a corrupt government.

Then learn how Cuban-Americans who hated Kennedy and Castro held this nation hostage and succeeded in maintaining and ever strengthening embargo against Cuba for 50 years while people in other countries started to laugh at us while they enjoyed themselves vacationing in Cuba ignoring us and our leaders' hypocritical statements about terrorism.

3. War on Terror is a money maker. Ask Richard Perle and Adnan Khashoggi.

Anyone remember Richard Perle and his Trireme Partners? As a member of Bush's Defense Policy Board, he got the idea to take financial advantage of the escalation in warmongering. He approached Adnan Khashoggin as an investor.
