Posada Acquitted!<br>
</font><font face="Verdana" size=5>U.S. Government Terrorist Walks
Free<br><br>
<br>
</font><font face="Verdana" size=2>In El Paso today, following a 13-week
trial in which the evidence against him was overwhelming, notorious
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles was acquitted by a jury after a shockingly
short three hours of deliberation.<br><br>
The U.S. government has been at war against the Cuban people since they
carried out a revolution in 1959. As a CIA employee and part of that war,
Posada Carriles committed many acts of terrorism against the Cuban people
and others.<br><br>
<b>Today Posada walks free in a mockery of justice, while the Cuban
Five<br>
anti-terrorists are still imprisoned for almost 13 years.<br><br>
</b>If the U.S. had really wanted a conviction of Luis Posada Carriles on
his real crimes of terrorism, it would have been easily achieved. But the
U.S. government chose to try Posada for the ridiculously minor charges of
perjury and immigration fraud.<br><br>
<b>This is why the National Committee, along with the A.N.S.W.E.R.
Coalition and local activists in El Paso held a "Peoples
Tribunal" and protest before the start of the federal trial, to
expose Posada's crimes of terrorism to the world.<br><br>
</b>Today's acquittal, together with the continued incarceration of the
Cuban Five heroes who risked their lives to prevent acts of terrorism by
Posada's allies, is a clear indication that the U.S. war against the
Cuban people and Cuban revolution continues.<br>
The National Committee to Free the Cuban Five is outraged by this
travesty of "justice," as are all supporters of Cuba and the
Cuban Five.<br><br>
The verdict of "not guilty" in Luis Posada Carriles's trial in
El Paso does not absolve him of his terrorist crimes. And the struggle to
bring Posada and his accomplices to justice does not end with today's
verdict.<br>
