Having a little fun with all this: There would have been zero operational necessity to tell the planners of Che's execution and the mechanics who pulled it off that their action would be characterized -- falsely, secretly and to a very small group -- as retaliation for Che's involvement in the JFK hit.
And now that I'm officially off the wall: The death of Yuri Andropov might have been explained in a similar fashion.
It makes for dramatic irony: Earl Warren and the Innocents, told that an operation's underway to avenge JFK's murder, are put to ease with news of Che's death, secretly by the hands of JFK's killers. With a second chance to put away a Commie patsy -- they got it right.
I don't get it, as Che's death happened on or about October 9th, 1967.
