A federal judge in Texas last week ordered 79-year-old Luis Posada Carriles freed on bail pending trial on charges he lied in an attempt to become a U.S. citizen. Prosecutors on Monday asked the judge to reconsider.Now that's a good Bushie judge in Texas. No judge in his right mind would free a suspected terrorist on bail.
"If the White House doesn't want them to free Posada, the U.S. government can easily prevent his release," lawyer Jose Pertierra told The Associated Press on Monday in a phone interview from his office in Washington. "Unfortunately this case is being handled by officials much higher than Justice Department lawyers. ... This comes from the White House, and there is a political decision here to protect this terrorist instead of charging him."
