US planned fake photographs of Castro debauch
 
        FROM TOM RHODES IN WASHINGTON
 
AMONG the extraordinary dirty tricks offered       
to President Kennedy as ways of sabotaging         
President Castro of Cuba were the faking of       
photographs of an apparently debauched Se·or       
Castro and murderous plots such as the sinking     
of a boatload of Cuban refugees as a pretext
for invasion.
The plans were included in classified
documents released by the Pentagon. Dreamt up
in tandem with Operation Mongoose, Robert
Kennedy's concerted effort to dispose of Se·or
Castro by any means possible, another
proposal, Operation Dirty Trick, included
plans to blame Havana for blowing up a US
warship in GuantÄnamo Bay and even to accuse
the Cubans of sabotage if John Glenn had
failed to return from his first orbit of Earth
in 1962.
The astronaut, now a retiring senator, did get
back, but the Pentagon memorandum suggested
that if he had not, then "various pieces of
evidence could be manufactured which would
prove electronic interference [by] the
Cubans".
Other schemes hatched by defence chiefs
included Operation Good Time, which would have
fabricated photographs of an obese Se·or
Castro clinging to two beauties in front of a
table brimming with delicacies and accompanied
by the caption: "My ration is different".
The proposals, released by the Assassination
Records Review Board, an agency overseeing the
declassification of documents related to the
death of President Kennedy in 1963, were
published only weeks after the publication of
a book detailing Robert Kennedy's wish to use
mobsters in plots against Se·or Castro.
Written by Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer
prizewinning investigative reporter, The Dark
Side of Camelot can be lent only greater
credibility by the latest notes, reflecting
the Kennedys' intense desire to rid themselves
of the Cuban President. While the CIA, as part
of Operation Mongoose, used covert tactics as
diverse as hiring Mafia hitmen and devising a
poisoned diving suit as a gift for the Cuban
leader, the Pentagon invented equally bizarre
schemes after the disastrous Bay of Pigs
invasion in April 1961.
Military chiefs recommended to the Defence
Secretary that America should overthrow
Castro. "In view of the increasing military
and subversive threat to the United States and
the nations of the western hemisphere posed by
the Communist regime in Cuba, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff recommend that a national policy of
early military intervention in Cuba be adopted
by the United States," a memorandum from
General Lyman Lemnitzer said.
The previous month, the Cuba Project,
initiated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
suggested sinking an American warship in
GuantÄnamo Bay or staging the disappearance of
a USAF plane with the sole purpose of blaming
Cuba.

Beh, se il modo di operare delle grandi potenze
e cambiato dagli anni '60, potrei anche salutare
il nuovo ordine mondiale.
Sfortunatamente, non abbiamo indizi che sia
cambiato.

*** C'č chi č convinto che gli USA sono un paese di intelligenti e
furbi... pensando a quanti soldi hanno speso, negli anni, per
fesserie come queste, mi viene il dubbio che almeno qualcuno di loro
non lo sia poi cosě tanto.... 
ĄHasta luego!
