There seems to be some meat to this story. Two weeks ago Panama suddenly pardoned four men who apparently have very long, violent terrorist rap sheets. Three of them were happily admitted into the US. No problem.

Regardless of what you think of Castro, it must go without saying that blowing up airplanes and an attempted assasination by blowing up a meeting with college students are not acceptable, legal means of warfare, and those responsible for that kind of violence should not be protected by this country. What the fuck!?
