Otto Reich

Re “A Top Post Deserves a Top Person,” Commentary, Nov. 11: Frank del Olmo tries to present his opposition to the nomination of conservative Cuban American Otto Reich to be assistant secretary of State within the framework of our effort against terrorism. But he actually admits, albeit reluctantly, that the alleged terrorist [Orlando Bosch] was acquitted of the charges in a court of law. That fact doesn’t faze him. He then complains because Reich tried to help the acquitted person come back to the U.S.

Del Olmo’s ranting against Reich, twisting the facts and engaging in guilt by association, is a tried-and-true tactic for liberals who despise all Cuban exiles who, after all these years, maintain their strong voices in rejecting Fidel Castro’s tyranny.
