...Rueb said. Unfortunately for Harvard, the Buccaneers swept to victory in the remaining matches. At No. 4, Nguyen lost 2-6, 6-4, 3-6 to Picardo, while at No. 5, Omodele-Lucien fell to a 6-2, 4-6, 4-6 loss against Oscar Posada. “It’s a hard loss, but we have to use it as a springboard,” Rueb said. With East Tennessee State undefeated against teams outside the top 25 this season and Harvard defending a perfect home record, something had to give in this contest. Unfortunately...
Cuba howled, but anti-Castro exile, former CIA operative and alleged terrorist Luis Posada Carriles was freed on bail pending his trial on immigration fraud. Even the U.S. Justice Department objected to the release of Posada, who some believe was linked to a 1976 airline bombing that killed 73 people, including 24 members of the Cuban fencing team, and who escaped from a Venezuelan prison in 1985.

...That's not necessarily so, says Miami attorney and immigration law expert Ira Kurzban, who wrote Kurzban's Immigration Law Sourcebook, a textbook that even the government attorneys routinely refer to when presenting their cases. If the government wants to go back and reclassify Posada as a terrorist to keep him in detention if no nation wants to take him in, it may be able to. "The real question here is will the Administration apply its views on terrorism in an evenhanded way?" Kurzban asks. "If Mr. Posada was a member of al-Qaeda, would the Bush Administration do everything...
...Government officials, who had not received the ruling by Tuesday, deferred comment. "We'll study the decision when we receive it," says ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez. Until then, Posada will sit in a holding facility in El Paso, Texas, a man without a country that the U.S. apparently doesn't want to charge as a terrorist - but also doesn't want to set free...
