I'm a huge fan of President Kennedy and I read about him constantly. He and his staff was obessed with Cuba. I'm currently reading a book about NSA secrets, and if any of this is true it's down right scary.

According to this book, Operation Northwood was approved by all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This opertion outlined a number of possible options to drag Cuba into war, making it look like they attacked us.

- Having a US manned MIGs attack our base in Cuba, blaming it on Castro.
- Having a US manned MIG shoot down a US airliner in route to Panama or Columbia, blaming it on Castro.
- Exploding John Glen's historic rocket flight, being the first from the US to venture into space, and blaming it on Castro.

Is any of this believable?

(I might have the name of the "operation" wrong here......)
