As far as the Cubana crash, I was not aware of that but I can't remember everything that was in the news in 1976. It's not because I condone the hypocrisy of a country that purports to be fighting a war on terror while letting a known terrorist go free; but because it happened over 30 years ago and didn't have the impact on the American psyche that other events such as the Challenger explosion or 9/11 did.

But the reason people should know is because it should have been in the news recently - like when his immigration charges were made.The media is lying by omission. They ought to tell a little about the man when they cover the story, but they don't want you to know about the man or else the whole illusion of America representing all that is good in the world is shattered.

It's not baiting imo. By logical deduction they only reasons those who saw the thread didn't reply are they value the lifes of cubans less than Americans, they no nothing about the iincident (until now), they were ashamed and didn't want their hypocrisy exposed (those who call for a war on terror) and well i'm running out of other possible reasons. If ISyria for instance was protecting a terrorist who done this to US citizens or friends of the US you can be sure there would be post after post of condemnation, but since it is only Cuba and it is America doing the protecting they really don't give a damn.
