Why was the HSCA interested in interviewing Carlos Prío Socarrás, Cuban president before Batista? Would Prio have had knowledge that would warrant his suicide or murder? From Spartacus: "Prio worked as a property developer and businessman in Miami. It was claimed that Prio was involved in the Bay of Pigs operation. It was also suggested that he had information on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He was also linked in testimony with Jack Ruby and Frank Sturgis. [...] " Officially Carlos Prio committed suicide, however, in an article, Did the CIA kill Carlos Prio?, David Miller suggested in had been murdered. " Do we know any more now than we suspected at the time of HSCA? What attracted HSCA's interest in Prio, or for that matter interest in Chicago hood Charles Nicoletti? Was it just the Jack Ruby connections? (Prio, Nicoletti and George DeMohrenschildt are linked as deaths occurring in the same few days, following HSCA subpoenas.) Keep in mind that Prio was 74 and perhaps feared scrutiny and botheration. Or perhaps other considerations prevailed.

AssassinationOfJFK.net offers this candid, casual (somewhat humorous) conversation between Gerry Patrick Hemming and Greg Burnham. In it Gerry recalls a conversation with Che Guevara from 1960 in which he informs Che how under-supplied his (Gerry’s) team of aviation students was and how necessary reinforcements were. He describes the low security with which he was faced in those days. Gerry Hemming also identifies the location of an airfield that could have been used by the invading force during the Bay of Pigs had the operation been planned properly. I enjoyed a relaxed relationship with Gerry. It lent itself to a conversational type of exchange rather than an adversarial one. It also disarmed Gerry because he didn't feel the need to constantly be vigilant. When his guard was down, he was a fountain of information.
