Recovered JFK Cuba map to go on display at library

BOSTON (Reuters) - A map of Cuba used by President John F. Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 with handwritten notes on the locations of Russian missile sites will be displayed at his presidential library this summer, library officials said on Wednesday.

The caption reads:

This map of Cuba annotated by former U.S. President John F. Kennedy is displayed for the first time at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts, July 13, 2005. Former President Kennedy wrote 'Missile Sites' on the map and marked them with 'X's' when he was first briefed by the CIA on the Cuban Missile Crisis on October 16, 1962. The map was found for sale on the internet by an analyst at the National Security Archive and was retrieved for the library by the Justice Department.

What a short memory some Americans have, wanting to travel and do business with a country who was not only willing to have nuclear missiles pointing at the US from their soil, but begging to use them.

Let's take note of the date of those terrorist plans, Osama Bin Laden was drinking his goat milk and playing with camel dung at that time! He still weared his diaper on his ass at that time, not yet on his head, and cagastro and che were planning the destructino of this country, and for extension the destructiof Cuba. That was a direct result of the installation of a government by use of terrorist methods for the first time in our hemisphere. The French Revolution and the Russian revolution resorted to terror too, but if we analyze proportion and scale they were dwarfed by the "revolutionary terror" instaurated by cagastro as predicated and practiced by guevara.
