Posada Carriles's Predicted Impunity

On the 8th of May a U.S. federal court dropped the immigration charges against Posada Carriles. Jury selection was supposed to begin on Friday in the trial against the suspected bomber, but U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone blasted the prosecution for "fraud, deceit, and trickery" in the way it ran the case.

So far, Fidel has been publicly mum over the court’s decision. However, an article in official newspaper Granma bemoaned the “predicted impunity” of the court’s decision, and an official at the Cuban Interests Section in Washington accused the Bush administration of protecting Posada Carriles.
