... ) The latter development, if not the former, seems to have been important to the development of Lopez Rega's dreaded 'death squads' of 1974-5 , the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance (AAA). Like the White House Cubans, these squads specialised in extra-legal kidnappings and murders. Dozens and perhaps hundreds of leftists were killed by the AAA before Lopez Rega, whose responsibility was established by an Argentine Congressional investigation, was forced to leave the country as a fugitive in the Fall of 1975. ** * Michael Klare, The Logistics of Repression (Washington, Institute for Policy Studies, 1977) passim.

... with Sturgis yet. There is a photograph of him in his pyjamas and dressing gown holding a saucer and cup of tea sitting on a sofa next to his matronly- looking mother who has one hand on his shoulder while the other points an accusatory finger at him. It's captioned, again caps throughout, FRANK'S MOM BAWLS HIM OUT FOR KILLING KENNEDY. Anywhere else I would assume this was a lame attempt at humour, but here I suspect it is meant to be taken seriously. Weberman presents further photos of Sturgis and claims he was one of the Three Tramps arrested on 22 November in Dealey Plaza. One of the others was Howard Hunt. The third was David LeMar ...

... . If the book had an editor s/he should have removed this chapter. The author presents these chapters as illustrative of his thesis: 'that there was an undeclared and internal "cold war" fought throughout the 1980s in which rogue elements in the government, military and secret services seemed to have free rein to distort facts and even kill opposition voices under the camouflage of black propaganda'. (p . 1) Well, yes, something like that, even if that is oddly expressed. But while the author's thesis is generally correct (we might argue about 'rogue elements') and supported by his account of various incidents during those years, the chapters on the ...

And on one occasion, she queried a report that five enemy had been killed in Diyala including an 'IED emplacer'. Who, General Odierno asked, were the others? He was told 'Four children, sir, who were in the vicinity'. 'How many more enemies had we created? ', she asks.

... he was a vitally important part of the mix, and virtually nothing about Sylvan Fox, the author of the first critical study of the Warren Commission's findings put out by a mainstream publisher, The Unanswered Questions about President Kennedy's Assassination (New York: Award Books, 1965). Actually, it was preceded by Thomas G. Buchanan's Who Killed Kennedy? (London: Secker & Warburg, 1964) which was published before the Warren Report came out. Buchanan was criticising the 'findings' that had been leaked out by the FBI and others and putting the 'lone mad nut' thesis into (American) historical perspective. And what was David Lifton up to back then? And ...

... -January a high Spanish official suggested that GRAPO's Maoist appearance might cloak a right-wing agenda; the London Times later noted its links to a party (the PCER, or Reconstructed Spanish Communist Party), which had been heavily infiltrated by the Spanish police. (120) The New York Times tended to downplay the right-wing killings, or what it called "the machinations of the so-called Fascist International", as a "last gasp" - albeit violent - before elections in which the right-wing knew it would do badly. (It is true that violence in Spain has subsided since the 1977 elections; but it is also true that fears ...

... , p206). Before the launch of America's first reconnaissance satellite, Samos, in 1961 (Klass p108), the US were almost entirely reliant on airborne intelligence gathering techniques. As such expeditions emphasised and enhanced Soviet vulnerability to nuclear attack, they protested bitterly and repeatedly against US violation of their airspace and over 100 US intelligence staff were killed as a result of shoot-downs in this period (Campbell, Duncan The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier, Michael Joseph, London, 1984, p131). The most famous of these, of course, was the Gary Powers U-2 on May 1st 1960 and Khrushchev was quick to exploit the 'spy' Powers, forcing Eisenhower to ...

Then on 22nd June 1941 there is this interesting comment: 'The Fuhrer has high hopes of the peace party in England. Otherwise he claims, the Hess Affair would not have been so systematically killed by silence. ' (12) So Hitler, for one, believed in this 'peace party'. Who were they?
