... , just because he wanted to be famous for his deed doesn't necessarily mean he wanted this to happen immediately, thus ensuring his apprehension and likely execution. It is much more reasonable to assume that he wanted to disclose his identity on his own terms and at a time and place he, not the authorities, chose, such as in Cuba or Russia. '( 36) So, the idea here, the very special pleading of the attorney from Los Angeles, is that Oswald's plan is to flee the scene of the crime and arrive in Cuba or Russian and then announce he's the assassin? Huh?! Oswald may have shot the president of the United States but ...

... of last resort. More often the agency relied upon covert economic, political, and psychological operations because they suited the circumstances and were more difficult to detect than paramilitary operations. ' But where in this literature on the covert operations of the 46-52 period is this focus on paramilitary operations'? The well known examples offered -- Cuba, Guatemala, Vietnam -- all fall outside this period. I am no expert on the literature of OPC/CIA but I am not even sure that there is anything resembling a picture of the covert operations of this period'. If asked about CIA covert operations in this period I would have difficulty producing much information about anything ...

... Martino, a minor criminal and anti-Castro activist. He presents a selection of the known and reliable evidence to suggest that the anti-Castro Cubans – with organised crime and/or CIA links – planned to kill JFK, and leave a dead Oswald framed as a pro-Castro, communist assassin, triggering another US invasion of Cuba and scuppering JFK's plans to do a deal with Castro. This is terribly plausible, a good hypothesis, and Hancock handles the immensely detailed material very well; but the basic problem remains: the trails all peter out as we arrive at Dealey Plaza. In the next section he shows how LBJ, the incoming president, organised the ...

... , and all the industry-standard lay-out techniques. Issue 3 is 40 pages, with essays on aspects of Maastricht, New Labour and Blairism's impact (or lack of it) on the EU, the MIA proposals, Brian Burkitt of Bradford University on the economics of EMU; as well as articles attacking the IMF, defending Cuba, and describing the the rise of criminality to the top of the Czech Republic's "Velvet Revolution" elite'. Its specific political orientation - if it has one - is difficult to identify but current and former Morning Star writers, and members of other European Communist Parties contribute to this issue. Its major strength is the contributions from ...

... when writing about Ruth Fischer, the name she used in politics and her writings? In fact, her name was originally Elfriede Eisler, then by marriage it became Friedlander, and later Golke, through a pro-forma marriage to a KPD official upon her rise to prominence in the Berlin KPD. From those days until his death in Cuba - which Fischer attributed to the NKVD - just as she had succeeded in getting him a US visa, she was the common law wife of Arkadi Maslow (another pseudonym), her political associate. When the new German edition of Fischer's book Stalin and German Communism appeared some years ago, a number of reviewers made the point that ...

... find the Scott-Marshall-McKoy thesis more plausible: that for short-term strategic reasons the CIA as an institution has consistently ended up in bed with drug-runners; and has either ignored the drugs or helped the drug-runners ship their goods. Thus, further down the road, when the local crisis is over (Cuba, Laos, Nicaragua, Afghanistan), the agency has become bound together with the drug-runners. In effect, some of the world's major drug-dealers have become immune to serious prosecution by US authorities. National security (covering the CIA's bureaucratic ass) overrides the DEA, FBI, Department of Justice etc. Inside this ...

... time, had been named by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics as the man behind the heroin trade of anti-Castro Cubans. Torrijos, too, was at least as much a political as a narcotics target: he and Chilean President Salvador Allende were the only heads of state to defy the CIA-enforced ban on friendly relations with Castro's Cuba. Barker and Artime, as we have seen, had been allegedly dropped from the CIA for their involvement in criminal activities - the latter for smuggling activities from a Costa Rica base owned by Anastasio Somoza, the patron of Torrijos' current enemy Orlando Bosch.
