Who's the terrorist?
In Detroit, one would-be terrorist failed to ignite explosives which might have brought down an airplane. On the other side of the world, more successful terrorists succeeded in killing ten more civilians, including eight schoolchildren. Of course they didn't "mean it." It was an "accident." Those bombs just had a mind of their own.
Meanwhile in Miami, another terrorist named Luis Posada Carriles who succeeded in bringing down a plane and killing all 73 people on board continues to enjoy the hospitality of the United States, protected from standing trial for his crimes.
Of these three, which one do you suppose will consume our attention for weeks on end? Which one do you suppose will be the only one to be labeled a terrorist in the U.S. corporate media?
