if any government assisted the commie, Lee Harvey Oswald, it was Castro, IMHO.

Probably all tied in; but the government is the only one that had the means to really cover it up.

Having just completed the book Brothers in Arms: The Kennedys, the Castros, and the Politics of Murder by Gus Russo and Stephen Molton, I would agree with you 100%.

This book was given to me as a Christmas present... At first I thought "why this title?", as I had expressed no interest in further study of the assassination... But after flipping the book open to the middle just to see how it was written and then finding myself having covered 40 pages without putting it down, I thought "Wow, go back and start at the beginning... These guys have done their homework!" As it turns out, it was 30 years worth of homework...

The book is very hard to put down once you start it... The authors are tying things together with facts discovered through their research of documents in the U.S and Russia, along with interviews of former Castro confidants that left Cuba. One interview was with Rolando Cubela Secades, who help Castro with the revolution only to feel betrayed by Castro when Castro turned to communism. Cubela stayed with the revolution with hopes of taking out the Castro brothers and bringing true democracy to Cuba.

Many people don't understand that the revolution wasn't originally communist, but was instead "anti-Batista." It wasn't until after Batista's overthrow and after much pushing by Raul [always the more devout communist than Fidel] that Fidel publicly stated that he was a "Socialist". I always found it offensive for Castro to call himself a "socialist" since I was taught in high school that the chief difference between socialism and communism is that socialism comes about through gradual change, while communism comes about through violent revolution...
