Three of this guy's associates entered the country back in August under the cover of press coverage. One of them actually fired a bazooka at the UN building in New York City in 1964! The US admitted them. No problem. They are still free here.

This guy is their leader. He has been here for over a month. He requested asylum. Formally. With a lawyer. He has been taking interveiws. Last week the US goaded Cuba on a black militant that they are harboring. Even the domestic press called that hypocritical when these guys are hanging around in Florida. Castro does them one better and has several hundred thousand people march past the US mission in protest. The international press picks it up, a lot (search Google News for Cuba). So the US picks him up. Immediately following the protest. They claim they didn't know where he was beforehand.

These guys blew up a commerical airliner. Are we really this corrupt? Am I missing something here? What the fuck...
