Tricky Dick: Nixon Knew Castro Was A Communist From The Beginning

Carl Campanile at the New York Post offers a piece on Fidel Castro wondering how Richard Nixon knew he was a communist all along. (And so much for the false idea that bad America pushed Castro towards the Soviet Union and communism).

Fidel Castro charmed and fooled many during his lifetime. But he admitted he couldn’t trick Richard Nixon.

Nixon’s son-in-law Ed Cox visited Cuba in May 1987 with a group of European business executives, and El Comandante — who died Friday at the age of 90— agreed to a mano-a-mano chat with Cox.

Cox pulled out his old notes for the first time and revealed to The Post what he and Castro discussed during a wide-ranging four-hour meeting that ran into the wee hours.

“How did [Nixon] know I was a communist?” queried Castro. “My father-in-law was a very perceptive person,” Cox diplomatically told the dictator.

9/11 Victims Want Justice: Finally A Trial For Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the 9/11 Mastermind

Carl Campanile at the New York Post reports that finally there will be a trial for the 9/11 mastermind. 

It’s about time!

Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four co-defendants accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will finally be prosecuted under new military charges filed yesterday.

The five defendants will be tried by a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay following years of legal and political controversy, the Defense Department announced.

“We’ve been waiting 11 years. We want justice!” said FDNY retiree James Riches, whose firefighter son, Jimmy, died responding to the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks.

“These terrorists killed 3,000 people — including my son. Now the case will proceed. I’m hoping they get the death penalty.”
