(August 21, 1999) Clemency Question Part Of Larger Picture - After two decades, I still remember the mood of celebration in Puerto Rico when President Jimmy Carter pardoned five jailed Puerto Rican nationalists.....In 1950, Oscar Collazo shot his way into Blair House, where President Harry Truman was living while the White House was under restoration. Collazo was wounded in the assassination attempt. A second gunman, Griselio Torresola, shot and killed a guard and was himself killed in the attack. In 1954, Lolita Lebron, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irving Flores and Figueroa Cordero entered the House of Representatives, where they opened fire on U.S. lawmakers from the visitors' gallery. Five members of Congress were wounded by the hail of bullets.

(Dec 22, 1999) Clinton's Terrorist Jailbreak - The President's clemency for FALN thugs opens the door to new acts of violence and exposes the hypocrisy of his supposed tough stance against terrorism....In all, the FALN has been connected to around 150 bombings, attempted bombings, bomb threats, shootings, kidnappings, bank robberies, and other criminal acts. It is not a "nationalist" or "independence" group, as the pro-Clinton media are wont to describe the killers. The FALN is a violent, Communist terrorist organization.


The FBI made available to the media a blurry, black and white surveillance videotape from August 3, 1983 showing two of the Puerto Rican terrorists, released by President Clinton, making a bomb, thus contradicting the claim that none pardoned were directly tied to violence. FNC's Carl Cameron appeared briefly on last Thursday's Special Report with Brit Hume and Fox Report to show it as Fox affiliate WFLD in Chicago was the first news outlet to obtain it. Both programs showed it again on Friday and Fox News Sunday played it too. Media Research Center (Go to view video)

Clinton, Carter and Castro........ Goodmorning JohnHuang2.
