This passage from the article was particularly rich:
quote:But the real reason for the loss in appetite in appealing her case, say observers involved, is 9/11 and the war on terrorism. "To the extent anyone focuses on it anymore, they just think 'Ah, a terrorist. Well, we don't want to get involved on the wrong side of that issue,' " says Dennis Jett, US Ambassador to Peru from 1996 to 1999.
But the US doesn't worry about getting involved on the wrong side of the terrorism issue when they harbour terrorists like Posada Carriles.
I wonder if anything will change after the Peruvian elections in April?

Fidel, you are welcome to be opposed to some things done by the Peruvian government. But I can assure you that Peru, the country and its people, are not "another Latin American shithole". I will assume that you were just being sloppy, rather than ignorant and bigoted.
