| Codepinko About Gets Its Butt Kicked In Miami |
| 2008-01-13 |
| Protesters demanding the arrest of Luis Posada Carriles called off a planned demonstration Little Havana after they were confronted by supporters of the anti-Castro Cuban militant. Women from an anti-war group known as Codepink had planned to discuss with reporters their campaign against Posada -- who is wanted by the Cuban and Venezuelan government on charges that he plotted the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner while in Caracas. About 15 Codepink activists were met in front of a Little Havana restaurant yesterday by some 200 supporters of Posada. Several of the Posada supporters charged at the activists' truck. The truck drove away and the meeting had to take place at a separate location. Posada is free after a judge dismissed the government's charges that he lied to investigators in a bid to become a naturalized US citizen. He still faces a deportation order. |

| #3 I support Posada as much as I support Eric Rudolph, which is not at all. I don't know that I would expedite him to Cuba or Venezuela, but if he was sent I don't know that I would be that upset. Hopefully, the Havanna chapter of Code Pink is protesting that whole lack of free speech thing. |

| #2 "We are not in Cuba. We're supposed to have free speech," said Medea Benjamin, one of Codepink's founders. Does she like Cuba or does she not like Cuba? Fellow travelers can never make up their minds. |
