Hypocrisy Game: Cuba, Venezuela, and Posada.
"EL PASO, Texas (AP) - An anti-Castro militant accused of plotting the bombing of a Cuban jetliner would be tortured if turned over to Venezuela, a former government official in that country testified Tuesday in the man's deportation hearing.

How many issues of Reichwing policy hypocrisy can you find in this article?

I'll start with 6:

BushCo ordered Afghanistan to give up Osama on charges of terrorism, but when another country asks for the same thing, the Bushies refuse.

BushCo ordered torture in prisons of those accused of terrorism, but claims Venezuela will do this with Posada.

The Reichwing says we need to protect ourselves from all the crazies coming over the Mexican border, but we granted asylum to this one.

BushCo refuses to hand over a terrorist because he will be sent to a Cuban prison, but Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is where many accused of terrorism by the US end up.

Bin Laden’s masterminding of the plane bombs is reviled by BushCo, but Posada’s killing of innocent civilians in plotting a bomb is lauded by BushCo.

Robertson and the Reichwing recently claimed that Venezuela would be a terrorist training ground, but when the CIA trains terrorists like Posada it is okay.

1. well, the wars against abstract concepts are doublespeak
The "war on drugs" is cover for the CIA to deal drugs and enforce a monopoly, and mass imprison Americans.

The "war on terror" is cover for the CIA to commit acts of terrorism and mass imprison more Americans.

You get the idea.
