In an exclusive interview Tuesday, a Salvadoran man told The Associated Press that a former CIA operative gave him powerful explosives and cash to carry out a 1997 hotel bombing in Cuba.
Otto Rene Rodriguez said that he was given C-4 explosives and $2,000 by Luis Posada Carriles to enable the bombing at Havana's Melia Cohiba hotel on Aug. 3, 1997. He was later captured in Cuba with 3.3 pounds of C-4 that he said was given to him by Posada.

1 The CIA will always use members of their own ranks before someone on the outside. This is because the person they would hire would probably speak about what they've done and who've they done it for out of pride.

The CIA is obviously hiring total idiots - who in their right (and greedy and murderous) mind would agree to such a dangerous mission for a measly $2000?
Something doesn't add up here. Either that guy is a complete moron, and the CIA is getting people to commit false flag terror for bargain basement prices, or ....something else entirely.
A key terror suspect who allegedly helped to plan last year’s attacks in Mumbai and plotted to strike Europe was an American secret agent who went rogue, Indian officials believe.

Do you people even understand who you are believing?... You all are so blind in your hatred against the U.S., and the CIA, that you all are willing to believe the claims made by castro's regime... The same regime that has had an entire nation under a communist dictatorship for over 52 years, and this same communist regime exported terrorism to every country it could...

$2000 is a lot of money, especially for use in Cuba. Plus he was also handed the C4, so the hard part was already done.edit on 9-2-2011 by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi because: (no reason given)
