The Invasion of Cuba: Never the Intention of JFK Hit Sponsors

[Tracy Riddle]

In Hosty's book, he talks about attack planes being sent toward Cuba at the same time Oswald was being arrested, but then they were recalled. This certainly sounds like some of the plotters were standing on go ready to hit Cuba, but other people higher up put a stop to it.

It may very well be that the Castro link was a diversion to facilitate the cover-up, or maybe it was how they recruited some people in the military/CIA/Cuban exile/Organized crime communities to participate. I just don't know. But they went to a lot of trouble to frame Oswald, when they could have framed some garden-variety non-political nut with a history of mental problems.

What is his evidence for that?

Hosty wrote: "I learned after the assassination from two independent sources fully armed warplanes were sent screaming toward Cuba. Just before they entered Cuban airspace, they were hastily called back...the entire US military went on alert. The Pentagon ordered us to Defense Condition 3...Def Con 3..." (Assignment Oswald p219)
