A Tale of Two Extraditions: “Dudus” Coke and Luis Posada Carriles

In the following article, Saul Landau, provides excellent background on Coke, alleged drug kingpin from Jamaica, and Luis Posada Carriles, the perpetual Cuban exile terrorist, making the point quite clearly that, when it comes to extradition, these guys were treated very differently.

The reason the US will never extradite Posada Carriles or try him in a US court on substantive charges is because he has more damaging information on the US government than most CIA directors.

In fact, the Cuban exiles in Miami have always been the US’ “go-to” guys” for the most vile, murderous, regime-changing operations ever conducted by the CIA.

Suge Knight Misses Court Hearing On Murder Charges After Refusing To Leave Jail Cell

As the Suge Knight Saga continues, Suge Knight decided that he wasn’t going to court to face murder charges because he was under the weather —so he didn’t!

Yesterday (May 27), Knight was scheduled to appear in court for his role in stealing a celebrity photographer’s camera alongside comedian Katt Williams on September 5. However, Knight’s court appearance was subsequently delayed after he refused to leave his downtown Los Angeles jail cell due to illness, according to Billboard.

Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen was reportedly close to having Knight forcibly removed from his cell, however he instead delayed the proceedings to coincide with a hearing in Knight?s murder case, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow (May 29).

Both Knight and Williams have pleaded not guilty to the charges…
