"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned on Sunday he could reconsider diplomatic ties with the United States if..."
If it isn't this issue it will be something else. Chavez has decided that eh's going to take a page from Castro - blame everything (including his own tactical failures) on the US. He's just looking for a reason to break relations iwth us and stop selling us oil.
IMHO we should try the Cuban in US courts. If there's evidence he should be jailed - in the US. If not, let him go. Either way, screw Castro and Chavez.

Well said. Sounds like a plan to me and robs castro and chavez of any limelight and propaganda fooder
ONly one little problem ---- We get upset when other countries won't extradite criminals and terrorists to the US for trial - yet we play the same game to other countries.
I believe that when we want someone extradited to the US, we have to show some sort of evidence that there is a legitimate case. So I don't see a problem with the same being true when another country wants someone extradited to their country.
And in this case - if this guy IS a terrorist (if he can be linked to the blowing up of that plane, he most definitely IS a terrorist), then we have a duty to turn him over to those wanting to prosecute him - even if it was terrorism against Cuba. It's called a double standard. Even if our neighbors like living by such a double standard, we should set the moral high-road.
