Was the Murder of JFK Castro’s Payback?
Constant Wonder • Season 2022, Episode 732, Segment 2The Bay of Pigs invasion was just one of the many ways John F. Kennedy tried to destabilize Fidel Castro’s regime, though the President’s other methods were more cloak-and-dagger, such as hiring mobsters to poison Castro, deploying saboteurs, and secretly organizing a coup. Despite Kennedy’s actions, and Lyndon Johnson’s reversal of these plots, the Warren Commission concluded that JFK’s assassination had nothing to do with his Cuba policy. Guest: Jim Johnston, lawyer, lecturer, and author of "Murder, Inc.: The CIA Under John F. Kennedy"
