.....Operation Northwoods
The US military devised a plan intended to provoke war with Havana and get rid of Soviet ally Fidel Castro. Plans were drafted in the 1960s to create chaos in US cities, believing it would drum up public support for a war against Cuba. Operation Northwoods included a plot to target an empty US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame it on Havana. "Sabotage ship in harbour; large fires," says a Pentagon memo. "Sink ship near harbour entrance. Conduct funeral for mock victims." In March 1962, plans were reportedly presented to President John F. Kennedy's administration and rejected.
Wouldn't have surprised me, so nothing new there for me mate. I've never been to Cuba, although I should have done really, I quite liked the idea that Cuba had become a timewarp, without the inteference of American hands. Although I think they started trading again in recent years, if I'm remembering correctly.
