The following digital copies are hosted on my testforum as the National Archives recycles the URL's. It is the pages 129 through 143 talked about in the above quote. If you only wish to read the "meat", scroll down to the double rows of red asterix's and begin there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() **************************** **************************** ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [/quote]

Thank you for posting the more significant of those original documents JFK. Seeing the real thing, really brings the message home. MM Edited for clarification. Edited by Miragememories, Jan 15 2009, 08:36 AM.

The fact that the memo references the winter/spring of 1962 is significant because "CIA: Legacy of Ashes" documents that Robert Kennedy proposed a false flag operation to CIA Director John McCone in August. "On August 21, Robert Kennedy asked McCone if the CIA could stage a phony attack on the American military base at Guantanamo Bay as a pretext for an American invasion of Cuba." p. 193 "CIA: Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner Tim Weiner's footnote cites - McCone memo 8/21/62 in "CIA Documents on the Cuban Missile Crisis" FRUS Vol X document 385 Bobby was probably aware of (if not the originator of) the Northwoods plan and was probably unhappy that it wasn't going anywhere, so he tried to push MCone to go for it. |

Yeah, it would not surprise me if that document is in the batch refered to in the opening post as it appears to be a conglomeration of Northwoods and Mongoose. I have just now discovered that out of the 181 documents, 34 are multi page .gif files which can be viewed with Windows picture and fax viewer. If I get a chance I will look for that McCone memo and post it in this thread if I find it. |
