This article looks at the case of Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban-exile terrorist who was arrested after illegally entering the United States. On September 11, 2006, in response to a petition of habeas corpus filed by Posada's lawyers, the magistrate Norbert Garney recommended that the request for habeas release be granted and Posada set free, since there is no evident reason why he should be held for security or terrorism concerns. The administration of U.S. President George W. Bush now faces a dilemma: treat Posada with the same harshness as Middle Eastern terror suspects and risk political problems, or set him free and appear hypocritical.
