14. Good Summary .. I believe the Cubans referred G Gordon Liddy/Howard Hunt |

I think they were the plumbers and "Cubans" Black Ops that were involved with the Bay of Pigs debacle during Kennedy's office, and "some say" (convinced)were involved in Kennedy's assassination.
I thought Pat Buchanan was involved in the Committee to Re-Elect who hired these thugs (?)
In any event, two years ago PBS created an excellent documentary on this entitled Water Gate Plus 30 on DVD with all the special features and background selections. It is fairly in depth and covers all of this - highly recommended - obviously important to keep historical facts in check. I'll have to view it all over again just to clear up foggy memory on the "Plumbers and Cubans" .
I recall watching "WaterGate Plus 30", "The Fog of War", and "All the Presidents Men" all in one weekend - talk about an exercise in self induced depression! <sheesh> but just after that, the news came that Kerry stepped up to throw his hat into the ring, and for some silly reason i allowed myself to be seduced into believing that it was the blessings of the goddesses and that he would soon restore our country to it's more honorable course in the world and restore the blessings of our Constitution and a better democracy here at home.
Now I realize that the the full scope of corruption of the Neo Liberalism (read Neo Conservatism) had to be fully exposed before any such revolution should or would ever occur.
I hope for all our sake that time has finally arrived..
again I highly recommend acquiring the DVD set Water Gate Plus 30 from PBS - it's only $30 - and it's a very important historical documentary quite RELEVANT to what's going on in this administration. And by the way, SEVERAL of the SAME players of Nixon's WH are highly figured in the current administration.
for those who are not aware, you will be stunned.
which brings me to another thought: it occurs to me that millions of voters and supporters of the BushCo. were not even old enough to remember Watergate and who the players were at the time. That was another advantage this Regime had in the past two elections.
Parents! Make HISTORY a priority in yours and your kids education!
