O que eu gosto na The Economist é que, apesar de ser uma revista direitaça, eles publicam matérias assim (que é o mínimo que se pode exigir de um periódico sério):

ONE of the Cuban government’s most legitimate criticisms of the United States involves its handling of Luis Posada Carriles. A Havana-born Venezuelan citizen, Mr Posada helped organise the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. He later worked for the CIA to undermine Fidel Castro and assist Nicaragua’s right-wing Contra guerrillas. In 1976 two of his employees blew up a Cuban aircraft, killing 73 people, including the country’s national fencing team. Over 20 years later he was implicated in bombings of Havana hotels. ... In 2000 Panama jailed him for plotting to kill Mr Castro during a summit. ...

The government subpoenaed Ann Louise Bardach, who interviewed Mr Posada in 1998 for the New York Times. In a conversation she taped, he said he was the “boss” of the plot and that an Italian tourist who was killed was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”. ... Asked if he was sorry, he said he “slept like a baby”. Prosecutors also unearthed a fax detailing payment for the attacks signed by “Solo”, one of his aliases. ...

The jury debated for just three hours before acquitting Mr Posada on April 8th.
