Bay of Pigs At 50: Ex-CIA Agent Who Helped Capture Che Guevara Talks About His Experience In The Bay Of Pigs Invasion


Luisa Yanez in The Miami Herald spoke to Felix Rodriquez, the current President of The Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506, on the 50 anniversary of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Fidel Castro's Communist Cuba.

Rodriquez, seen in the above photo, is a former CIA agent who was in Cuba 50 years ago. He later helped hunt down Castro's Communist guerrilla ambassador, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, in Boliva.

An Anniversary Of Heroism And Shame - The Bay Of Pigs At Fifty


This weekend is the 50th anniversary of a dark page in America history - the Bay of Pigs invasion of Fidel Castro's Communist Cuba and the Kennedy administration's failure to fully support the brave Bay of Pigs Brigade.

The above photo is of the Bay of Pigs Memorial in Miami, Florida.

Humberto Fontova, an anti-Castro Cuban-American, wrote an interesting piece about the Bay of Pigs fiasco for FrontPageMag.com.
