US Attorney General not pleased with Posada Carriles' release

Alberto Gonzales, the US Attorney General, expressed Thursday disagreement with the recent ruling by a federal judge to dismiss the charges against anti-Castro activist Luis Posada Carriles, AFP reported.
 
"We are aware of the judge's decision. Obviously, we take issue with it," the Attorney General explained during a hearing at the US Congress, when queried by Democrat Representative Bill Delahunt about the release last Wednesday of the activist regarded as terrorist.

"Could I say that, with due respect, I disagree with the judge?," he said after the Representative read out the ruling issued by federal judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso, Texas, and her rough criticism of the Attorney General.

"In addition to fraud, deception and tricks, this court considers that the government tactics are as shocking and outrageous that they violate the universal meaning of justice," the judge said.
