The CIA’s Human Hurricanes

by SAUL LANDAU

"He who sows winds will reap hurricanes."

"Quien siembra vientos recogerá tempestades" – Spanish proverb

Luis Posada Carriles, now in his 80s has returned to Miami as a triumphant hero after an El Paso jury acquitted him of 11 counts of lying on an immigration form. Strangely enough, the Justice Department had presented evidence showing Posada had orchestrated a series of bombings in Cuba in 1997 – which killed one tourist.

Posada returned to Miami where he makes celebrity appearances at fundraisers. According to one US official who requested anonymity, “Posada has become a colossal pain in the ass.”

The blow back syndrome has struck again. In the 1960s and early 70s CIA officials worked intimately with Posada, but he didn’t mind making money from other three letter agencies. He planned terrorism and simultaneously informed on his collaborators. An October 14, 1976 CIA memo from Caracas reports that “a few days after a fundraising dinner Posada was overheard to say we are going to hit a Cuban airplane [bombs exploded on Cubana 455] and that Orlando [Bosch] has the details’.”

A November 26, 1976 CIA memo to the FBI stated “Posada was also used as a source of information on Cuban exiles.” The memo affirmed “Posada reported to the Agency and later to the FBI, on his involvement in and the activities of this group [RECE –Plan of the Cuban Exile Representation] and subsequently other Cuban groups with which he became affiliated.”

In my film “Will The Real Terrorist Please Stand Up” Ann Bardach (“Cuban Exiles Leader Among 7 Accused of plot,” NY Times July 13, 1998) concluded from interviews with national security officials, the Agency knew Posada planned to hit a Cuban airliner and didn’t try to stop it or inform the Cuban government. Three plus decades later, the US government used its evidence about Posada’s terrorist activities to show he  lied on an immigration form. Charging him with terrorism or deporting him to Venezuela to face trial for the airplane sabotage might have provoked Posada to reveal “family secrets.”

Justice officials wrung their legal hands. Geriatric right wing Cuban exiles hailed his triumphant return to the Autonomous Republic of Miami.

The tinny irony, however, grew into dangerous alloy. Posada raised money from rich Cubans who thought violence would bring them back to lost power and property on the island. The CIA and FBI paid him extra cash for ratting on his exile benefactors, like Jorge Mas Canosa.

Those honoring him deny he did the deeds they honor him for. As does Posada at one dinner said “No comment,” to a question about the accuracy of accusations of his bomb-plotting. He then quoted General Antonio Maceo: “You don’t beg for freedom. You conquer it with the machete blade.”

Octogenarian supporters applauded. At their age they rarely refuse opportunities to eat, drink and celebrate — anything.

On the island, Cuban viejos celebrated their victory at the Bay of Pigs. As the nation endured economic woes, leaders could at least toast happily to 52 years of disobedience to Washington.

They chuckled over Fidel’s successful “export Cuba’s enemies to the larger adversary.” Yes, some useful citizens also fled – but the mass exodus allowed Cuba to plant a fair number of state security agents (infiltrators) as well.

With CIA encouragement in the 1960s violent anti-Castro Cubans became – and remain — a problem for U.S. society. Having aided and abetted terrorism, by training thousands of exiles in violence against Cuba, the CIA also legitimized terrorism at home.

In the 1960s, Agency-backed Cuban exiles carried out thousands of sabotage missions against their former homeland. Some tried to assassinate Fidel and became vocationally committed to such “work.” They also attacked their critics in Miami and elsewhere – with bombs and guns.

Nixon did not consider the toxic inconsistency that arose from this cultivation of terrorists. In 1971, the US signed the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation. Article 7 of that document states: “The Contracting State in the territory of which the alleged offender is found shall, if it does not extradite him, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offense was committed in its territory, to submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.”

An exception appeared, however. In January 1965, Bosch had launched phosphorus bombs at a Cuban sugar mill. He explained to the press: “If we had the necessary resources, Cuba would burn in flames from one end to the other.”

In 1990, Orlando Bosch, Posada’s co-author of airplane sabotage, escaped prosecution in Venezuela by getting a Daddy Bush pardon – against strong advice from the Justice Department. Bosch, like Posada, gloats of his feats in Miami, On 1968, he fired a bazooka at a Polish ship in Miami Harbor; in 1976 he and Posada planned the downing of the Cuban airliner, killing 73.

On November 10, 2001, Baby Bush warned UN members: “Some governments still turn a blind eye to the terrorists, hoping the threat will pass them by. They are mistaken. The allies of terror are equally guilty and equally accountable.” But Bush and his Florida congressional backers didn’t mean Bosch and Posada — freedom fighters not terrorists.

Those human hurricanes left a trail of destruction in their wake –dead bodies of Cuban citizens. In 1961, CIA Chief Alan Dulles had warned President Kennedy about popssivble consequences that would accrue from aborting the Bay of Pigs invasion. The 1500 CIA trained Cuban exiles in Guatemala would become “a disposal problem.” Now in their 80s, Posada and Bosch epitomize that predicament: don’t cultivate garbage unless you have a garbage disposal machine.

Orlando Bosch Ávila (18 August 1926 – 27 April 2011)[1] was a :{Cuban exile:(style="color:#000000"):}:, former:{Central Intelligence Agency:(style="color:#000000"):}:-backed operative, and head of :{Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations:(style="color:#000000"):}:, which the :{FBI:(style="color:#000000"):}: has described as "an anti-:{Castro:(style="color:#000000"):}: :{terrorist:(style="color:#000000"):}:umbrella organization".[2] Former U.S. Attorney General :{Dick Thornburgh:(style="color:#000000"):}: called Bosch an "unrepentant terrorist".[3] He was accused of taking part in :{Operation Condor:(style="color:#000000"):}: and several terrorist attacks, including the 6 October 1976 :{bombing of a Cuban civilian airliner:(style="color:#000000"):}: in which all 73 people on board were killed, including many young members of a Cuban fencing team and five :{North Koreans:(style="color:#000000"):}:. The bombing is alleged to have been plotted at a 1976 meeting in Washington, D.C. attended by Bosch, :{Luis Posada Carriles:(style="color:#000000"):}:, and :{DINA:(style="color:#000000"):}: agent :{Michael Townley:(style="color:#000000"):}:. At the same meeting, the assassination of :{Chilean:(style="color:#000000"):}:former minister :{Orlando Letelier:(style="color:#000000"):}: is alleged to have been plotted. Bosch was given safe haven within the US in 1990 by President :{George H. W. Bush:(style="color:#000000"):}:, who in 1976 as head of the CIA had declined an offer by Costa Rica to extradite Bosch.

Background and personal life

Bosch was born on 18 August 1926 in the village of Potrerillo, 150 miles east of :{Havana:(style="color:#000000"):}:. "Bosch's father was first a policeman in Potrerillo and later a successful restaurant owner in the same village. His mother was a teacher."[1] In 1946 Bosch enrolled in the:{University of Havana:(style="color:#000000"):}: medical school, where he first met :{Fidel Castro:(style="color:#000000"):}:;[1] Bosch was president of the medical school student body while Castro was head of the law school student body.[4] After graduating, Bosch moved to :{Toledo, Ohio:(style="color:#000000"):}: for a :{paediatric:(style="color:#000000"):}:internship.[4]

Bosch's first wife, Myriam, was a fellow medical school graduate and moved with him to Miami in July 1960, along with their four children, which soon became five. They divorced ten years later, when Bosch was in prison.[4] In 1976 he had another child with his second wife, Adriana.[4] He returned to the United States in 1988, despite being wanted for parole violations, saying "I have a loving wife who resides in the United States and five American children with whom I want to share the last years of my life."[4]

Career

After meeting Castro at the :{University of Havana:(style="color:#000000"):}:, Bosch went on to play a part in underground cells that later carried out the :{Cuban Revolution:(style="color:#000000"):}: of 1959.[1] Bosch himself did not take part, being forced to flee to :{Miami:(style="color:#000000"):}: to escape arrest. He returned to Cuba after the Revolution, but rapidly became disillusioned, leaving Cuba in July 1960 after helping to organize a failed anti-Castro rebellion in the Escambray mountains.[1] In his autobiography, Bosch wrote that he had refused to participate in the 1961 :{Bay of Pigs Invasion:(style="color:#000000"):}: because the US had refused to help the Escambray rebellion.[1]

Bosch was in contact with the :{CIA:(style="color:#000000"):}: in 1962 and 1963, as the agency itself admitted, as recorded in the :{National Security Archive:(style="color:#000000"):}:.[5] At this time, Bosch was the General Coordinator of the Movimiento Insurreccional de Recuperacion Revolucionaria(Insurrectional Movement of Revolutionary Recovery, MIRR), which in 1967 becamePoder Cubano (Cuban Power).[citation needed]

In 1968 Bosch was arrested in :{Florida:(style="color:#000000"):}: for an attack on a :{Polish:(style="color:#000000"):}: freighter with a 57 mm:{recoilless rifle:(style="color:#000000"):}: and was sent to prison for a ten year term.[6] He served four years before being released on parole in 1972, and fled the country,[7] leaving on 12 April 1974.[4] He moved to Venezuela, where later that year "he was arrested and jailed for two weeks by Venezuela authorities after admitting to two bombings of Cuban and Panamanian buildings in Caracas. He was mysteriously released and turned up in :{Curaçao:(style="color:#000000"):}: where he told a Cuban exile radio newsman from Miami: "We will invade the Cuban embassies and will murder the Cuban diplomats and will hijack the Cuban planes until Castro releases some of the political prisoners and begins to deal with us."[7] He told :{The Miami News:(style="color:#000000"):}: in June 1974 that he was the head of Accion Cubana, and claimed the organization was responsible for a series of bomb attacks on Cuban consulates in Latin America since August 1973.[8]

Bosch moved to :{Santiago, Chile:(style="color:#000000"):}: on 3 December 1974, staying in a military house. According to the government of :{Augusto Pinochet:(style="color:#000000"):}:, Bosch "lived quietly as an artist", while the US government held Bosch responsible for postal bombings of Cuban embassies in four countries. The US also accused Bosch of involvement in the August 1975 attempted assassination of Emilio Aragones, the Cuban ambassador to Argentina, and the September 1976 bombing of the Mexican Embassy in Guatemala City.[4]After an arrest in :{Costa Rica:(style="color:#000000"):}: which saw the US decline an offer by the authorities to extradite Bosch to the United States,[9] he was deported to the :{Dominican Republic:(style="color:#000000"):}:, where June 1976 saw the founding of the :{Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations:(style="color:#000000"):}: (CORU). Bosch returned to Venezuela on 23 September 1976, aged 50.[4]

Flight 455

“You have to fight violence with violence. At times you cannot avoid hurting innocent people.”
—Orlando Bosch, 1979 statement while jailed in Venezuela [10]—Orlando Bosch, 1979 statement while jailed in Venezuela [10]—Orlando Bosch, 1979 statement while jailed in Venezuela [10]

Bosch entered :{Venezuela:(style="color:#000000"):}: in mid-September 1976 under the protection of Venezuelan president :{Carlos Andrés Pérez:(style="color:#000000"):}:, according to the National Security Archive.[11] A CIA document described a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser in :{Caracas, Venezuela:(style="color:#000000"):}:, held between 22 September and 5 October 1976, to support Bosch's activities. The informant quoted Bosch as making an offer to Venezuelan officials to forgo acts of violence in the United States when President Carlos Andrés Pérez visited the :{United Nations:(style="color:#000000"):}: in November, in return for "a substantial cash contribution to [Bosch's] organization." Bosch was also overheard stating: "Now that our organization has come out of the Letelier job looking good, we are going to try something else." Several days later, Posada was reported to have stated that "we are going to hit a Cuban airplane" and "Orlando has the details." (Both the Bosch and Posada statements were cited in an 18 October 1976 report to Secretary of State :{Henry Kissinger:(style="color:#000000"):}: posted by the National Security Archive on 17 May 2005.)

On 6 October 1976 :{Cubana Flight 455:(style="color:#000000"):}: was destroyed after takeoff by the detonation of a bomb that had been placed in the aircraft toilets. All seventy-three people on board were killed, including many young members of a Cuban fencing team and five people from :{North Korea:(style="color:#000000"):}:. The bombing would have been plotted at the same meeting, attended by :{Luis Posada Carriles:(style="color:#000000"):}: and:{DINA:(style="color:#000000"):}: agent :{Michael Townley:(style="color:#000000"):}:, where the assassination of the former Chilean minister :{Orlando Letelier:(style="color:#000000"):}: in Washington, D.C. in 1976, was decided upon.[citation needed]

Bosch was arrested in Caracas on 8 October 1976, and held for nearly four years while awaiting trial for his role concerning the Cubana Flight 455 bombing. He was acquitted along with three co-defendants (one of them :{Luis Posada Carriles:(style="color:#000000"):}:) of these charges in September 1980, with the court finding that the flight had been brought down by a bomb but that there was insufficient evidence to prove the defendants were responsible.[7] Bosch was convicted of possessing false identification papers, and sentenced to 4 and a half months, set against time already served.[7] Defending himself, he would later say, infamously, "All of Castro's planes are warplanes."

When asked if he was responsible for the Cubana Flight 455 bombing in an interview for the 2006 documentary :{638 Ways to Kill Castro:(style="color:#000000"):}:, Bosch responded, "I'm supposed to say no", and then described the justification for such attacks as being because there existed a state of war between Castro and his opponents.[12] In his 2010 memoirs, Bosch denied having authored the bombing, stating that Castro had "accused me, without evidence, of being the intellectual author of the sabotage of Flight 455 and many other acts with which I had nothing to do."[13]

Later career

Miami area law enforcement officials linked Bosch to several dynamite bombings, including a blast in the offices of :{Mackey Airlines:(style="color:#000000"):}: in 1977, after the airline announced plans to resume flights to Cuba.[7]
