10:45 am
dropping leaflets i don't want to hollow alone. i hate that is the case on me our country can no longer doubt made such a thing. almost fourteen years after president eisenhower had suggested the cubans just shoot down the airplanes the cuban government seemed to follow his advice they shot down to three brothers to the rescue place. the plane carrying who say both returned safely to miami. and those two planes there were four people travelling to warn each plane they were pulver ice by makes in international airspace. back to the shoot down of the brothers to the rescue planes bill clinton's national security adviser
10:46 am
presented him with policy options military strikes against cuba or a bill tightening the already tight embargo on cuba. clinton shows helms burton or the libertad act tightening the embargo. a point you had to make decision as to on what basis does they call me survive and they said well the only thing that we have immediately we don't depend on anyone is to reason so that they're right wing cuban exiles and this is one area that we have to hit and we have to. they've launched a media savvy. campaign to make it unsafe for tourists to come to cuba. by publicly announcing that everything in cuba is a target that cuba has become a free fire zone borrowing this time from be
10:47 am
a. sumo ball has exploded at the capri and you know you know hotels and another at the hotel. where the person not the person i talked to called himself ignatius me diena later on i realized he was out of jail as. he asked me if i'd like to visit cuba. the middle east as a tourist. for
10:48 am
placing a few bombs he offered one thousand dollars plus all expenses the whole tourist packets. the movement to me. time a thousand dollars was big money in el salvador. but needed to take a trip for five days three days but not barry still might have. some time in this summer of ninety ninety eight feel gusto hands to see the markets a letter to deliver to president clinton because he knew that the two were to meet in the white house and in that letter he offers they clinton administration. information that they're willing to
10:49 am
collaborate with the f.b.i. . moving at that moment. president clinton expressed his willingness to do something very. close to if we would host an f.b.i. delegation. that would offer that of them but they go through it. and within two weeks an f.b.i. team goes to heaven this is june one thousand nine hundred if we the f.b.i. and the u.s. government did absolutely nothing about these groups but i saw. you have provided all kinds of evidence to the f.b.i. the f.b.i. then see who were the people who were supplying the q uncle i mean the information . was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage. and are due in london was also charged with conspiracy to commit murder although no
10:50 am
evidence existed that he had transmitted details of the fatal brothers to the rescue flights so you didn't offer any information that would have helped the cuban government to shoot down the plane no cause not if you broke correct group of those . who i now know were. there i got real grown. on rory already knew that you know our priorities are all the advice of. the war. judge joan was sentenced to write a hernandez to two terms of life without parole look at the draconian souness's that they got two life sentences plus fifteen years and this is supposed to be because of the brothers to the rescue shoot down and so forth which i have. absolutely no way of knowing the truth about because our government the cuban
10:51 am
american community and others have so clouded the facts and so obviously gated all of the available material on it it's not whether they were sent here because acts of terrorism were being were happening in cuba you do not send people to spy in other countries because you think that they are committing or you say they're committing acts those five that are so you know try to be painted as heroes are murderers all the men were given maximum sentence is kept in solitary confinement for more than a year barred from seeing certain family members and what they believe was the most prejudicial they were not granted a change of venue out of miami well there was ample evidence of intimidation of the jury and in fact some of the jurors during the four deer process when they were being selected specifically said that they were afraid for their families if they
10:52 am
reached a verdict in this case that was not acceptable to the exile community in miami i do not understand why the trial proceeded in dade county florida a change of venue to me as a layman is something that is demanded when there is absolutely no chance of the defendant or defendants getting a fair trial in the area where they're going to be tried. but it's a fact it's real it has made the cuban exiles happy today. why what difference will do what. we can wait for fidel castro to die for chavez to go crazy or for or. to make mistakes. remember general antonio my sales words. don't beg for freedom.
10:53 am
you win it with a blade of a machete. not all terrorist are treated the same those that are favored by the administration cooperate with impunity inside the united states people who want to partake in violent acts against you are protected you see individuals who are trying to stop those acts of terror is to try to. make all american law enforcement. aware of these activities and the people who end up being prosecuted.
10:54 am
the people end up in jail and those who blow up airliners those who blog post tells those who can conduct acts of violence are free the toast of the town because the ministration is paralyzed by their own policy with respect to to cuba with their own posse with respect to the war on terror which you see is the level of the pacific that is incredible i am posada. in general. you know if his conscience bothered him from his life as. you know a military. and he said no that he slept like a baby we were fighting again united say that again got through again and that do you know where you go grocery i mean roger we are fighting a body what do you call a person who fights against that what do you call that. who fight.
10:55 am
but i mean is that a freedom fighter in your brain that you fighting counsel you want to feel. front i welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who was suppressing oppressing the people. i'm glad you did and should be you could have. just if you had neither of us might be here. are you stupid dog and the little one is calm now you do recall even though you are talking to their side and. you know what's going on during the racial speaking with it. it's very simple if you want to be a bar go live he can release political prisoners or she can respect human rights repression and hold free and democratic elections to do business with all sorts of bad quote some type of democratic countries where there are free elections that are we could kill because we can because they're small and because there's political
10:56 am
benefit to doing there in florida and you've been to cuba. and been free cuba also knows one ton cuba's biggest crime is its desire to be a free un sold for income tree they would forgive cuba for the poor. little for me from others read them or every word. i have is own foreign policy i didn't do that much i did what any cuban would do we need to deal with the cuba up to date not the cuba that we left not the cuba that we think is there but it isn't we need to deal with the cuba that exist today. and hopefully before all the future of that cuba and the spanish saying. you swim and you swim to die on the shoulder. all we did was to use leads. to create a great many tried and taken some twenty exile community to be honest fifty yards
10:57 am
