historical accuracy ..

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2007)

According to the plot, the Bay of Pigs failed because the KGB found out about the air cover because they taped a conversation between one of their agents and Wilsons son. Other sources say Bay of Pigs failed specifically because JFK refused to authorise USAF air cover and because of this, was later assassinated in a CIA/Mafia/Cuban exile inspired plot.
Of course no one would believe this if you put it in a movie. Incidentally there is a video of JFK in Dallas preceding the entrance of motorcade into Dealy Plaza showing the secret service being called away from the limo, to the perplexment of at least one agent.
Lastly, Congressional oversight of the CIA wasn't established at the beginning but much later on in the mid 1970s, long after the excesses came to light.
