So wouldn’t the arguments being trotted out to justify the US raid in Abbottabad mean Cuba would have been justified (or would still be justified today) in “taking out” the organizers of the plane bombing, Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch Avila, by sending in a Cuban equivalent of SEAL Team 6? The two were never holed up in some cave or secret mansion but have been enjoying care-free lives in Florida, with court decisions preventing their extradition to Venezuela, where they were once sentenced, or to Cuba where, it was claimed, they “might be tortured.”
Posada Carriles, after being acquitted of minor pass violations, is completely free. Bosch, referred to years ago by a US expert as “one of the deadliest terrorists in the hemisphere,” was officially amnestied years ago by – guess who – President George H.W. Bush, who just happened to be CIA-Director at the time of the plane bombing.
