This 4 part interview is approximately 2 hours in length. The normal constraints imposed by time limitations, typical of conferences, were suspended. Len allowed me sufficient time to describe these events in more detail than I've ever been afforded in the past (121 minutes versus 20 minutes). AssassinationOfJFK.net -- The Bay of Pigs: Details

The Bay of Pigs: What We Know 53 Years Later
Greg Burnham posted a topic in JFK Assassination Debate
53 years ago today an attempted coup was launched against Fidel Castro in Cuba. Due to sabotage it failed miserably. The history of the fiasco was later contrived, pivotal events were fabricated, blame for the failure was misdirected, and false co-conspirator patsies (anti-Castro Cubans) were created for use as suspects for the Crime of the Century 2.5 years later in Dallas.

Please visit my new website: www.AssassinationofJFK.net I have posted numerous articles and items of interest. I will be adding a large number of never before heard audio interviews over the next weeks, months, and years (yes, I have that many!) with Colonel Fletcher Prouty, Gerry Patrick Hemming, and others.

His attention to detail is stellar. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

He "almost" gets it right. Unfortunately, he would apparently prefer to miss the mark rather than allow the real blame to fall where it should: CIA screwed the pooch. When the opportunity to speak to the president was offe
