Castro: Al-Zarqawi Killing a 'Barbarity'
2006-06-12
HAVANA (AP) - President Fidel Castro called the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a "barbarity," saying he should have been put on trial. The United States acted as "judge and jury" against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday. "They bragged, they were practically drunk with happiness."
I was pretty drunk with happiness myself.
"The accused cannot just be eliminated," he told a literacy conference. "This barbarity cannot be done."
"You have a show trial first and then shoot them, just like we did in '59."
Castro said if Cuba used the same logic, it could bomb the United States to kill its No. 1 enemy, Luis Posada Carriles, who is being held in El Paso, Texas on immigration charges.
Make .. our .. day.

#8  Castro has with a 99.9% probability said: "barbaridad", which, at least in Spain does NOT translate as barbarity but as unusual, crazy (it has ome other meanings more admirative but because it is Castro I discard them).

It is not unheard of this being used for meaning barbarious but not usual. If Castro had meant "barbarious" he would not have used barbaridad, but salvajada or atrocidad.
