Do you think the world should respect the "freedom and liberty" of terrorists
the way the US has treated Orlando Bosch:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,851879,00.html

According to the justice department in George Bush Sr's administration, Bosch
had participated in more than 30 terrorist acts. He was convicted of firing a
rocket into a Polish ship which was on passage to Cuba. He was also implicated
in the 1976 blowing-up of a Cubana plane flying to Havana from Venezuela in
which all 73 civilians on board were killed.

Your president respected Orlando's "freedom and liberty" so much he gave him a
"pardon".

Can you explain why?
