Activist or terrorist
Today on the radio (NPR) the news announcer said in regards to the arrest of a Cuban terrorist in the USA: "A controversial anti-Castro activist is now in custody in Miami"
It was referring to Luis Posada Carilles who blew up a Cuban passenger plane with around seventy civilians, and was also involved in bombing several hotels in Cuba which killed tourists. I agree, Fidel Castro is an oppressor and a dictator but the fellow who blew up an airliner should be referred to and treated like a terrorist rather than a controversial anti-Castro activist. If a Middle Eastern man sneezes he is called a terrorist.
