This comes as 20 members of Congress have called on President Bush to deny Posada political asylum and to extradite him to Caracas. In the letter, the Congressmembers reference Bush’s remarks of August, 2003 when Bush said that anyone who shelters a terrorist, or supports a terrorist, or feeds a terrorist, is as guilty as the terrorist himself. The letter also raises the issue of Posada alleged involvement in the murder of former Chilean Foreign Minister Orlando Letelier and his US assistant Ronnie Moffit on September 21, 1976 in a car bombing in Washington DC. Among the Congressmembers who signed the letter were Dennis Kucinich, Jose Serrano, Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee.
