De repente, ordenan que Posada sea enjuiciado
Apenas tres días después de que el vicepresidente de Panamá asegurara de que su país pronto reclamará la extradición de Luis Posada Carriles, la corte de Apelaciones de Nueva Orleans, que rompió récords de lentitud para estudiar el caso, de repente ordena que el terrorista sea enjuiciado en El Paso bajo cargos de fraude migratorio. Según el diario El Paso Times, un panel de tres jueces de la Corte de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito "falló que Posada sea sometido a juicio, bajo cargos de que él mintió a las autoridades federales en su intento por convertirse en ciudadano estadounidense". La decisión constituye un nuevo episodio de maniobras dilatorias, destinadas a proveer una falsa justificación al gobierno de Bush para salvar al agente de la CIA que, durante más de 40 años, se dedicó a realizar tareas sucias por cuenta de la agencia.

Appeals court orders Cuban militant to stand trial
-By ALICIA A. CALDWELL – EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles to stand trial in El Paso on immigration fraud charges.A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that Posada, an 80-year-old anti-Castro militant, should stand trial on charges that he lied to federal authorities in his 2005 bid to become a U.S. citizen.The criminal case against Posada had been dismissed last year when El Paso-based U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone ruled that the government engaged in trickery and deceit by using a naturalization interview to build a case against Posada.Felipe Millan, one of Posada's lawyers in El Paso, said Posada's legal team was reviewing the decision and would decide on a course of action afterward.In an e-mailed statement to The Associated Press, Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said, "We're pleased with the ruling and will proceed forward as appropriate."The Cuban-born citizen of Venezuela is wanted in the South American country on charges that he orchestrated the 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner. He has denied any wrongdoing.Posada was first arrested on a civil immigration violation in May 2005 after sneaking into the country from Mexico about two months earlier. Posada, a former CIA operative and U.S. Army officer, has claimed that he was brought across the border into Texas by a smuggler, but federal authorities have alleged that he actually sailed from Mexico to Florida.In January 2007, a federal grand jury indicted Posada in the immigration fraud case after prosecutors argued that he lied about how he got into the United States in 2005 and other facts about his past.Posada, who has a pending deportation order, was released from jail in April 2007 and has been living with his family in Miami. An immigration judge has ruled that he cannot be sent to Venezuela or Cuba because of fears he would be tortured. No other country has been willing to let Posada in.Cardone threw out the case in May 2007, criticizing the government's tactics and concluding that it used Posada's naturalization interview as a pretext to build a criminal case. The appeals judges, however, found that because Posada initiated the naturalization proceeding, the government was obliged to provide an interview and investigation.The court also concluded that a review of Posada's interview and documents in the case appeared to show that the naturalization interview was above board.A new court date in El Paso has not yet been set.
