Bay of Pigs, April 17, 1961

According to Anderson, Che Guevara wrote to John F. Kennedy thanking him for invading Cuba at Playa Giron (the Bay of Pigs). An event that the CIA, the U.S. i'm sure wish they could erase from the history books. Of all the places where the CIA / Kennedy could have chosen why the southwest side where roads & terrain work against them ? Somewhere in the planning room, the Strategists were not well informed. Perhaps, egos and bravado ran amok.
