		Balmaseda noted that Paz Romero's crime ranks among the most notorious acts of terrorism during the 1970s, but lawyers for the Cuban-American National Foundation diligently fought for his release.
		She writes that it certainly appears like just another incident of terrorist-coddling by the foundation, and that it is no secret that foundation veterans enjoy alliances with some of the exile community's most infamous terrorists.
