And yet, if you were to publicly suggest, prior to the details of Posada's case becoming public knowledge, that the CIA had been using American tax dollars to fund terrorism, you would have been labelled a crazy conspiracy theorist. In fact, if you suggest it two days from now when everybody has completely forgotten this story ever happened, you'll still be labelled a crazy conspiracy theorist.

In other news, did you hear about Paris Hilton? It's kind of a big deal.

He will cease to exist before anything he's done for the CIA will ever get exposed.

Actually, much of what this guy has done has been reported in the past year (The Atlantic had a long article in November http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200611/cuba. Especially interesting: the Bush family's intervention on behalf of one of his cronies).

He was a CIA hit man/fixer all over Latin America since the 1950s. He was with Pinochet in Chile and the Contras in Nicaragua. El Salvador, Panama, Colombia, Guatemala, and Venezuela too. Anywhere our right-wing puppets needed somebody killed.
The flamboyant, fanatical anti-Castro terrorism against Cubans was sort of extracuricular(and probably cost him a sweet retirement courtesy of the USA).
