Under her watch, the committee is expected to push for stepped-up sanctions against North Korea and Iran, more oversight of the U.N. and a block on any dialogue with Cuba. As a strong abortion foe, Ros-Lehtinen also may try to chip away at the president's executive order allowing foreign aid for international groups that provide information about abortion services.

Ros-Lehtinen fled Cuba with her family at age 7. She taught elementary school, then started running her own school. She was in the Florida Legislature for six years before winning election to the U.S. House in 1989, her bid brokered by legendary Cuban-American political king-maker Jorge Mas Canosa. She completed her doctorate in education while serving in Congress.

The mother of two children and two stepchildren with her husband, former U.S. Attorney Dexter Lehtinen, is still best known for her staunch support of the U.S embargo against the communist island.

"I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro," she told an interviewer in a 2006 British documentary.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's first campaign manager was Jeb Bush. With him, she lobbied his dad to allow mass murderer/bomber Orlando Bosch into the country, over the official judgement for exclusion by U.S. Assistant Attorney General, Joe D. Whitley.

In 1976, Venezuelan authorities arrested Bosch for the bombing of a Cubana de Aviacion airliner that killed 73 people. Along with Bosch, Cuban-born Luis Posada Carriles and two Venezuelans were charged with the bombing. Posada Carriles escaped prison in 1985. After serving 10 years, Bosch was acquitted under suspicious circumstances and left the country, allegedly with the help of then US Ambassador to Venezuela Otto Reich and the administration of President George H.W. Bush.

Bosch returned to the US, but was denied a visa owing to Justice Department opposition. A Justice Department report concluded that there was considerable evidence that Bosch had engaged in terrorist acts in the US, Cuba, and other countries for 30 years.

Upon entering the US in 1989, Bosch was promptly arrested for violating his parole on a 10-year sentence for the 1968 Bazooka shelling of a Polish freighter bound for Havana from the Port of Miami. During the trial, both the judge and prosecutor said they believed Bosch used highly publicized terrorist acts to acquire power in the exile community and collect money.

Bosch was now officially considered a terrorist and a public danger by the Justice Department. But in August 1989, The New York Times reported that Florida State Sen. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen negotiated Bosch's release with the Bush administration, assisted by Jeb Bush who was Ros-Lehtinen's campaign manager. Jeb Bush was elected governor in 1990 while Ros-Lehtinen went to the US Congress--both with exile-community support.

1. Two words ...

Claude Pepper

The "Dem" sonofagun fully supported her 1st run. Her campaign slogan was "Free Orlando Bosch".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpFj9SXDa8E

"Although many countries seek Bosch's extradition he remains free in the United States.
The political pressure to grant Bosch a pardon was begun during the congressional
campaign run by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, herself a Cuban American, and overseen by her
campaign manager Jeb Bush. The resultant pardon reputedly saw huge celebrations in
Miami, in what was then called 'Free Orlando Day"

2. Deport Orlando Bosch

to Cuba would be more appropriate.

So much for the US being against the harbouring of terrorists.

For the general benefit of others :

Orlando Bosch was in contact with the CIA in 1962 and 1963, as the agency itself admitted, as recorded in the National Security Archive <3>. At this time, Bosch was the General Coordinator of the Insurrectional Movement of Revolutionary Recovery (MIRR). He was a member of the anti-Castro Operation 40.

Belgian researcher Marcel Dehaeseleer believes that Bosch is the "dark-skinned man" who sits next to the Umbrella Man in the famous Zapruder film footage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Bosch testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he was at home in Miami when the president was assassinated.

In 1968 Bosch was arrested in Florida for an attack on a Polish freighter with a 57 mm recoilless rifle and was as a result sent to prison for a ten year term. He served four years before being released on parole in 1972, and fled the country.<4>

"In 1974, he was arrested and jailed for two weeks by Venezuela authorities after admitting to two bombings of Cuban and Panamanian buildings in Caracas. He was mysteriously released and turned up in Curacao where he told a Cuban exile radio newsman from Miami: 'We will invade the Cuban embassies and will murder the Cuban diplomats and will hijack the Cuban planes until Castro releases some of the political prisoners and begins to deal with us.'"<4>

3. Great clip, Billy Burnett. Sad, sad event. It's excellent seeing a word from Wayne S. Smith,

and Ann Louise Bardach, however. They are wonderful people, great authorities.

Thank you.

The nature of that crime is simply overwhelming, even now. The level of mindless hatred needed to do that to strangers will NEVER be forgotten.
