America what a country!

Mr. President,
Recently, declassified reports exposes America's tacit support for one of the worst airline terrorist acts committed in the western hemisphere prior to September 11th.
On October 6, 1976 Cubana Flight 455 crashed after two time bombs exploded while the plane was in-route from Barbados to Cuba. The DC 8 crashed with no survivors. Among the 73 people who died were 24 members of the young 1975 national Cuban Fencing team that had just won all the gold medals in the Central American and Caribbean Championship.
Anti-Castro Cuban exile, Luis Posada Carriles is widely suspected as the mastermind of that 1976 bombing. One of Posada's group members checked in some baggage and left before the flight took off.
The United States knew his bombing plans beforehand but didn't warn Castro.
A declassified report from the CIA shown on ABC's Nightline in May 2005 also disclosed the significant relationship Luis Posada Carriles had with the CIA.
The telecast unveiled that both the FBI and the CIA knew of the plot. A CIA source had overheard Posada prior to the bombing in late September 1976 stating that, "We are going to hit a Cuban airliner."
The CIA trained Venezuelan Luis Posada Carriles in the early 60's. He also ran special demolition schools for south American insurgents, funded by the CIA.
A Venezuelan judge issued arrest warrants for Posada. He was apprehended, but while awaiting sentencing, he bribed his way out of prison in September 1985. Posada immediately went into hiding.
He eventually appeared in El Salvador to work with Lt. Col. Oliver North's illegal Iran contra operation. Lt. Col. Oliver North was later tried and convicted of multiple felonies including lying to Congress and shredding official documents.
This disgraced army officer shredded all the operation's documents. So no one knows how many White House cabinet members were involved in this illegal operation.To this day Ronald, Reagan's and then-Vice President George Bush's involvement is still questioned on this matter.
Posada went back into hiding until he was recently caught entering the United States illegally and is awaiting deportation hearings.
Posada is apparently cashing in his markers with the U.S. government and recently requested to be released from detention and allowed to live with his family in Miami. He has got some huevos grandes.
It is obvious Posada has some major republican connections, but there is no valid reason our State Department should not extradite Posada to Venezuela. He is a Venezuelan citizen who was heavily involved with a convicted member who committed the Cubana crime. He is also a fugitive who escaped from Venezuela's justice system during his trial for killing all those innocent people.
You stand before the world as a leader against terrorism junior.
So are you with the terrorists or against them? You shouldn't even think twice about it. Anyone who has sent over 2300 marines to their death to combat terrorists should be outraged at the thought we would not send Posada back for trial.
Congressman Tom Tancredo should be jumping up and down on every morning show, condemning the very "idea" that we even consider giving such a notorious illegal amnesty! Posada is no common illegal looking to pick fruit or mow lawns. He is a demolitions expert wanted for killing 73 people in the worst airline terrorist act before 9 11!
Sadly, but predictably you will probably give Posada's asylum. Because in Bushworld, politics trumps the Constitution, international treaties, the Bill of Rights, national security and morality.
Posada is a hero to many high-powered-Republicans and anti-Castro factions.
I can see Posada sitting in a comfortable chair on a Miami Beach, sipping on a Mojito, with his feet up, smiling as he gazes over the ocean-grave of his victims.
America what a country. Bush what a president.
I did not receive the normal thank you for writing auto-response from the White House.
