BuzzFlash wants to know why Bush fought tenaciously for powers to arrest anyone thought to be aiding a terrorist group, on his lone discretion, when he lets off an American corporation who admits to financing a group classified as a terrorist organization by, you guessed it, the Bush Administration. 

In short, if you are an individual and look at a Bushevik cross-eyed, they can arrest you for suspicion of aiding terrorism. 

But if you are a loyal GOP corporation, you are permitted to pay off terrorists and get a token financial penalty (no jail time, no thorough investigation, no waterboarding). But the even more troubling and grossly hypocritical aspect of the Bush Administration's tolerance for corporate contributors aiding and abetting terrorism is that the allegations in the latest lawsuit - by 393 Colombian victims and their relatives of the terrorist death squads Chiquita financed - were not investigated, at the same time the Bush administration has tortured Arabs who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

In short, the Colombian families accuse Chiquita not just of paying "protection money" to terrorist organizations, but actually using the money, in essence, to have the terrorist organizations help Chiquita seize banana plantations from small growers.
