Toward that goal, the Archive today reposted documents implicating Posada Carriles in that terrorist crime and identifying still secret records to be declassified.

Posada illegally entered the United States in the spring of 2005; he was subsequently prosecuted for immigration fraud in Texas but acquitted. He currently lives freely in Miami.

During the secret talks in 2013 and 2014 between White House officials and representatives of Raul Castro that led to the restoration of diplomatic relations, the Cubans repeatedly raised the issue of Posada’s presence in the United States … //

Die Burka, ein philosophischer Blick hinter den Schleier (Sternstunde Philosophie), 58.33 min, von SRF Kultur am 5. Sept 2016 … die Burkadebatte tobt, auch in der Schweiz. Für die einen geht es um eine Bagatelle, für die anderen um grundlegende Werte. Barbara Bleisch diskutiert mit Christine Abbt und Reinhard Merkel, ob wir wirklich in einem Kulturkampf stecken und wann eine Gesellschaft ihre Kultur mit welchen Mitteln verteidigen darf;
(mein Kommentar: nochmals, als Balance gedacht: wenn eine grössere Zahl brave Bürger von nackt herumlaufenden Menschen schockiert sind und im Kanton Appenzell deswegen ein Gesetz vom Stimmvolk akzeptiert wurde, man dürfe auf den Wanderwegen nicht mehr nackt herumlaufen, dann frage ich, warum ich mir das Burka-Frauenbild gefallen lassen muss.

Bis jetzt wird immer nur das Recht auf Verschleierung gefordert, das Recht auf Nacktsein haben wir schon aufgegeben, das aber ist unredlich – Heidi);
