Harboring our own terrorist

Attorney General Gonzales is in charge of the extradition case against Posada.

The US attorney general is, for sure, conflicted.

If he wins the extradition case and sends Posada to Venezuela, he pisses off the Miami Mafia. If, on the [other] hand, he loses the extradition case and Posada stays here, then he jeopardizes the retrial of the Cuban Five ... which is a case as big as Posada's.
This Arthur Shaw commentary discusses the things Posada might testify about that would be terribly uncomfortable for the U.S. government if called upon in a retrial of the Cuban Five. If he can't be kept quiet or shut up in his new Texas prison home, he may have to meet with an early demise. 'Underground' may take on a new meaning for him. I'm still wondering what his reason was for surfacing in Miami.
