U.S. ambassador to Venezuela discounts Posada’s extradition June 29, 2007 "Mr. Luis Posada Carriles is no imminent danger to anybody," William Brownfield, the outgoing U.S. ambassador in Venezuela, stated to the daily Panorama, making it clear that the Bush administration has already decided not to deliver the international terrorist to Venezuela justice. "Mr. Posada Carriles is a 79-year-old man, who would seem to be suffering from cancer; it is pretty evident that he represents no imminent danger to anybody," the imperial diplomat said, utilizing the same arguments presented by Posada's Mafioso lawyers in court. During a so-called farewell tour prior to taking up his post as ambassador in Colombia, the Bush representative visited Zulia state, where his country is engaging in acts of interference. In a singular action, while the Venezuela has been waiting for two years for a response to its extradition application, Brownfield took the initiative of discounting it. "The case presented by the Venezuelan government is not sufficient to allow Posada Carriles' extradition," he announced without any basis for his assertion. By discounting a decision by the Justice Department headed by Alberto Gonzales, a buddy of Bush and legally responsible for the use of torture by the U.S. intelligence services, he lowered the level of debate to attorney level. "Some kind of consultation or dialogue at attorney level, between the attorney responsible for extradition in Venezuela with his counterpart in the United States would be appropriate; if we don't dialogue, we're not going to have any result in terms of the extradition," he commented. Luis Posada Carriles, torturer, killer and self-confessed terrorist, has not been charged with terrorism after being in the United States for more than two years after entering that country illegally. The statement by the U.S. ambassador completely contradicts the word of Thomas Shannon, assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs, who recently assured the OAS that his Justice Department was still following up investigations into Posada Carriles. One month after Shannon's statement, nothing new has happened in the case of the criminal who is still in Miami, conspiring more than ever with his long-time accomplices and financiers. |
Embajador de EE.UU. en Venezuela descarta extradición de Posada Carriles 29 de junio de 2007 "El señor Luis Posada Carriles no es ningún peligro inminente para nadie", decretó el embajador saliente de Estados Unidos en Venezuela, William Brownfield, en declaraciones al diario Panorama, dejando claro que la administración Bush ya determinó que no entregará al terrorista internacional a la justicia venezolana. "El señor Posada Carriles es un hombre de 79 años, que según parece padece de cáncer, es bastante evidente que no es ningún peligro inminente para nadie", declaró el diplomático imperial, usando los propios argumentos presentados por los abogados mafiosos de Posada ante los tribunales. En una llamada "gira de despedida", antes de iniciar funciones como embajador en Colombia, el representante bushista visitó el estado Zulia, donde su país desarrolló actividades injerencistas. Hecho singular, mientras el Gobierno venezolano espera respuesta, desde hace dos años, a su solicitud de extradición, Brownfield tomó la iniciativa de descartarla. "El caso presentado por el Gobierno venezolano no es suficiente para permitir la extradición de Posada Carriles", declaró sin fundamentar su afirmación. Descartando una decisión del Departamento de Justicia que dirige Alberto Gonzales, socio de Bush y responsable jurídico del uso de la tortura por los servicios de inteligencia norteamericanos, rebajó el debate a nivel de fiscales. "Sería conveniente algo de consulta o diálogo de fiscal a fiscal, el fiscal responsable para extradición en Venezuela con su par de Estados Unidos, si no dialogamos, no vamos a tener resultados en materia de extradición", dijo. Luis Posada Carriles, torturador, asesino y terrorista confeso, no ha sido acusado de terrorismo después de más de dos años de estancia en EE.UU. donde entró de manera ilegal. Las declaraciones del embajador norteamericano contradicen por completo las promesas del subsecretario de Estado, Thomas Shannon, quien aseguró recientemente a la OEA que su Departamento de Justicia todavía seguía con investigaciones acerca de Posada Carriles. Un mes después de las declaraciones de Shannon, nada nuevo ha ocurrido en el caso del delincuente que sigue en Miami, conspirando más que nunca con sus cómplices y financistas de siempre.
