But the President isnt talking to Venezuela. either. so those requests have been denied. The U.S. Customs and Immigration Service says Carriles poses a significant danger to our Nation. but the U.S. Justice Department just hasnt acted. In a recent editorial that I submit for printing in the RECORD. the Los Angeles Times described Luis Posada Carriles as "the Zacarias Moussaoui of Havana and Caracas." The Times points out that Moussaoui is serving a life sentence without parole for his role in the 9/11 attacks. but Carriles was released on bail and is living at home in Miami. with his family. awaiting trial next week. The U.S. is holding a person convicted of major terrorist acts in other countries. but he is going to be prosecuted for an immigration infraction. That is like bringing Osama bin Laden in and trying him for a traffic ticket. The moral compass of the Bush administration is just spinning round and round over the treatment of Posada Carriles.
