Then there's this. Admittedly, written by an anti-Castro Cuban ex-pat. Dispute the argument, not the source. I was only 14, but a cousin, recently discharged after a tour in Germany, was left on the beach at BOP.

I suspect we will all be long, long, long gone before there is ever clarification about the Kennedy Assassination, and 9/11.
