BTW, these were two of the worst terrorists of the 20th century. They both admit to having been involved in numerous terrorist attacks against civilian targets and assassinations (and attempted assassinations) of Cuban and Chilean leaders. And today they both live freely in the United States having never been punished for their crimes. Yet we say Cuba is a terrorist state.
