The truth and bare facts about the Bay of Pigs

[Albert Doyle]

The best way to look at it is JFK had his world perspective going back to Gullion and Viet Nam, the Congo, and Algeria. When he took office he had to figure out how to implement that new world detente while having to deal with CIA aggression and Castro aggression. I think if you want a fuller understanding you should look at how Kennedy resolved those problems. You point to Mongoose, but those actions were under CIA's purview more than Kennedy's. It's always difficult to finesse world peace when you have a nation full of aggressive nuclear bomber war hawks and CIA Gestapo killers. I believe DiEugenio showed CIA faked evidence showing RFK's involvement in that campaign. All part of the Helms subterfuge.
