Nobel Literature Prize Winner José Saramago said Friday in an exclusive to Cubas^ that the US government is going to use all possible means and methods to keep Posada Carriles silent.

“I don’t know whether the United States will extradite this mister to the government of Venezuela or will take him to the court. It would be the rightest thing, but I think it won’t do that”, said the Portuguese writer at the end of his lecture before young narrators, held at the “Onelio Jorge Cardoso” Literary Formation Center.

“Now everybody must insist on this to happen”, added the author of “Ensayo sobre la ceguera, y otros textos” (Blindness), who is on a visit to Cuba since last Tuesday.

In Saramago’s opinion, some have voiced the idea that this case has a relationship with Pinochet’s extradition to Chile; but, he clarifies, “it’s not the same, because UK had no personal problem with Pinochet (…), he was there and it sent him back”.

“In this case, U.S. is deeply interested in keeping Posada Carriles’ mouth shut. If this trial is held, he might tell what he knows about them, and that is not advisable”, the Nobel laureate explained.

“I think that government is going to use all possible means and methods to keep him in prison. So, it may happen some day that someone comes in and kills him as it happened with Kennedy’s alleged murderer”.

He added that in this world and with the United States in it, everything may occur.

Recently, the Nobel laureate headed a call by Portuguese intellectuals demanding law enforcement in the Posada case, who owns a bulky criminal record, including the full-flight bombing of a 1976 Cubana jetliner, which left 73 people dead, the wave of bombings against several hotels in Havana in 1997, and other terrorist acts in Central America and the world.

The statement, signed by over 40 professionals and social and political leaders also underlined the paradox that the US government repeatedly proclaims itself as champion of the worldwide anti-terrorist crusade, at the same time that it harbors criminals and allows terrorist acts against sovereign countries.

Wim Dankbaar on Luis Posada Carriles, reflections from a foreigner.

Why does this terrorist get such protection from Bush? Here is the story!

"Without the support from higher powers, Posada Carriles would just be a pawn. A pawn who would not have been able to bribe his escape from prison, to plan and execute terrorist attacks, and to slip through the mazes of Homeland Security. In other words, Posada and his friends need finance, backing and guidance", says Wim Dankbaar, the Dutch specialist on Kennedy's assassination. "So let's have a look at where his support comes from."

We must go back in time. Where did it all begin? Well, we need a history lesson that Americans did not get in school. We must go back to the first major effort to overthrow Castro's Cuba in a CIA sponsored invasion. An invasion that failed and is now known as the infamous Bay of Pigs. An invasion that failed because Kennedy did not back it all the way. That is at least the resentment that still lives on in the anti-Castro cummunity. The operational base in Florida to train this army, was only outmatched in size by the US Navy. It was codenamed the JM/Wave station. The commanding officer of this station was Theodore Shackley, who later became the deputy director of the CIA under George Bush senior. One of the men who worked under Shackley at JM/Wave is your present CIA director Porter Goss.

The architects for this clandestine invasion were CIA director Allen Dulles and then vice president and later president Nixon. Luis Posada Carriles was recruited for that invasion. He was trained in Fort Benning as an assassin and an expert in explosives. But what many Americans do not know, is that from that army, a number of men were selected to form a secret group of assassins. This group was called Operation 40, and the CIA code name was ZR/Rifle. This is the stuff that American media do not report. The mission of Operation 40 was to assassinate Fidel Castro. It may be no surprise that Luis Posada Carriles was selected for Operation 40. I will give you the names of some more members of this assassination group. And it is important to remember these names, because they will get back in the story later on. One of those members was Felix Rodriguez. He was also trained in Fort Benning, along with Posada.
