Mr. Speaker. next week Luis Carriles Is scheduled to stand trial for allegedly lying to immigration authorities when he entered the United States 2 years ago. Most Americans have probably never heard of Carriles. but everyone should know the real case against him because it shows the double standard of the Bush administration and its socalled commitment to fight terrorism. Carriles is being prosecuted for an immigration violation in America. but he has been convicted in other nations for acts of terrorism. including the downing of a commercial Cuban airliner over 30 years ago that killed 33 inno~ent people. He is a wanted international fugitive. The Bush administration knows this. but instead of turning Carriles over to the sovereign Governments of Cuba or Venezuela. as they have asked. we are going to get him on an immigration violation. Why is the Bush administration handling Carilles in this way? Three letters say it all: CIA.
