Re: El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)

I think it should be noted that Operation Mongoose was implemented at the insistence of the Kennedy Brothers and was overseen personally by Bobby Kennedy. The extreme pressure they were putting on everyone to get rid of Castro was no doubt a major reason some of the more outlandish ideas were not immediately shot down. Smart people at the agency understood that this was bad news and stayed the hell out of it.
