Why does this look like a deliberate attempt to exonerate Posada Carriles?
ok, call it my black cynicism, but i don't trust anything any more...
the u.s. has been under fire for quite some time for harboring a terrorist... now, you'd think (wouldn't you?) that, if posada carriles had some info that would let him off the hook, he'd have come out with it a long time ago... sorry, but this just smells bad - really bad... Submit To Propeller

An anti-Castro militant now in a Texas jail warned the CIA months before the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that fellow exiles were planning such an attack, according to a newly released U.S. government document.
The document shows that Luis Posada Carriles — who had worked for the CIA but was cut off by the agency earlier that year — was secretly telling the CIA that his fellow far-right Cuban exiles opposed to Fidel Castro's communist government were plotting to bring down a commercial jet.
The document does not say what the CIA did with Posada's tip. A CIA spokesman said he had no comment on Monday, a federal holiday.
The CIA had extensive contacts with anti-Castro militants and trained some of them, but has denied involvement in the bombing.
