Bush was CIA director, the U.S. government tolerated right-wing terrorist cells inside the United States and mostly looked the other way when these killers topped even Palestinian terrorists in spilling blood, including a lethal car bombing in Washington, D.C., according to newly obtained internal government documents..............In 1998, when Pinochet was detained in Great Britain on an extradition request from Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who was pursuing Pinochet for killing Spanish citizens, George H.W. Bush was one of the world leaders who rallied to Pinochet’s defense.Bush called the case against Pinochet “a travesty of justice†and demanded that Pinochet be sent home to Chile “as soon as possible,†which the British courts did....The younger George Bush – and his brother Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – also helped out in protecting the old Cuban terrorists who were implicated in the Cubana Airline bombing, Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles. Both have been allowed to live out their golden years in the relative safety and comfort of the United States.As for Pinochet, the aging general never had to face justice for his acts of international terrorism or for his domestic human rights crimes. Pinochet died of a heart attack on Dec. 10, 2006, at the age of 91..................After the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, the U.S. government presented itself as the innocent victim of international terrorism with a moral right not only to pursue the “bad guys†across the globe but to subject some captives to torture, to lock others up indefinitely without trial, and to launch attacks that have killed many thousands of innocents.In the years that have followed, there were few recollections of the days under the current president’s father when the bloodiest terrorists were “our guys.â€more at:http://www.consortiumnews.com/2008/022108a.htmlRefresh | 15 Recommendations Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top

They are not real fond of any government that has ever stood up to them.In today's world and today's war on terror, it is not just who you know but who you kill that makes the difference between being a patriot and a terrorist. Especially when you're a friend of the Bushes. Most of the friends of the Bushes appear to be enemies of the American people. Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top

Finally getting some airtime! We've spent the last 60 years dismantling the free world in our attempt to control everything and everyone on our side of the iron curtain. People think the Bush Administration are above censure because of 9/11...when they were the ones who allowed it to happen!Still, no one likes the truth- it's ugly and it makes us feel uncomfortable.

In 1999, the Clinton adminstration cravenly offered pardons to 16 hard-core, remorseless terrorists of the Puerto Rican terror group Armed Forces for National Liberation - the FALN. (Two of them rejected the deal.) During the 1970s and '80s, the FALN waged a war against the people of the United States that included 130 plus bombings. Their most heinous attack was the January 1975 lunchtime bombing of Fraunces Tavern here in New York City. It killed four people, including my father, Frank Connor, 33.
