Radio Havana Cuba - News - 13 December 2001 Viewpoint: THE "GOOD" TERRORISTS AND THE "BAD," ACCORDING TO THE USA
There is an anecdote about John Dulles when he was US Secretary of State in the Eisenhower government. When asked why, in spite of all the scandals and improper conduct, Edgar J. Hoover was kept on in the Department of Justice, he answered that there are certain people it is better to have inside the shop throwing garbage out than outside the shop throwing garbage in. The story is as relevant today as it was in the '50s. Everything appears to indicate that for the United States, those who are inside the so-called shop are the so-called "good" ones. It doesn't matter what they have done outside, even if it is potentially dangerous and criminal. For example, when Osama Bin Laden was in favor in the White House he was a good boy; when he left he was under suspicion. When he rose up against those who taught him how to use weapons, he was portrayed as a terrorist of the worst kind, someone that must be captured, dead or alive, no matter what the price, be it the destruction of a country or the annihilation of its people. In contrast, it is of no importance to them that Cuban-born Orlando Bosch, Jose Basulto or Luis Posada Carriles, to mention only a few, conspire to commit terrorist acts, execute terrorist deeds and violate the laws of the United States and international community. The point is that they are inside the shop and that means that they can move with total impunity. This paradoxical approach to terrorism is functioning again, as witnessed Wednesday in a court room in Miami, where the Cuban patriot, Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo, was handed two consecutive life sentences and fifteen years for committing the so-called grave crime of monitoring the terrorist organizations that are openly based in the south of Florida. The message cannot be clearer: These terrorists have sanctuary in the United States and can carry out, more or less any activity they wish. They will be protected and the weight of the law will fall on whoever tries to stop their nefarious actions against our country. These are the good boys, and they are helped to stay on their feet by the shop owners who help them logistically and financially. It doesn't matter what is done outside, inside the house they will continue to be treated as good boys. The "bad" ones are the others, those who try to put a stop to crimes, those who defend their country's people, those who work to keep innocent senior citizens, women and children, from having to pay the consequences of the hatred that these people feel towards Cuba. The hypocrisy of the United States system, which imposes a double moral standard on what they consider to be desirable conduct, demonstrates once again that what is important for Washington is not what is done but where and against whom it is done. On that depends their approval or disapproval. On that basis, any person who has an atom of common sense and decency should be careful about having such a country as a friend, although that doesn't appear to worry them. It's as if they are proclaiming that there are no friends, just interests. (c) 2001 Radio Habana Cuba, NY Transfer News.
