President Fidel Castro called the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a ``barbarity,'' saying he should have been put on trial.
The United States acted as ``judge and jury'' against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday.
``They bragged, they were practically drunk with happiness.''
``The accused cannot just be eliminated,'' he told a literacy conference. ``This barbarity cannot be done.''
The U.S. military has said al-Zarqawi initially survived the dropping of two 500-pound bombs on his hide-out Wednesday, but died a short time later.
Castro said if Cuba used the same logic, it could bomb the United States to kill its No. 1 enemy, Luis Posada Carriles, who is being held in El Paso, Texas on immigration charges.

a barbarity, as compared to killing a country's spirit as has Castro.

He's actually worried that we'll carry out a similar justice on another bearded butcher - himself.

...a barbarity, as compared to killing a country's spirit as has Castro. Fidel has done a lot of flesh and blood killing as well.
A whole lot.

Should we waste a 500lb JDAM on Castro? Start buyin' Cuba while the prices are low.

Cubans in Miami remember each of the freedom loving Cubans murdered by Castro.

Gee, I guess if that statement doesn't give Carriles sufficient grounds to a need for asylum, nothing else will.
