Adlai Stevenson II
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (/ˈædleɪ/; February 5, 1900 – July 14, 1965) was an American politician and diplomat, noted for his intellectual demeanor, eloquent public speaking, and promotion of liberal causes in the Democratic Party. He served as the 31st Governor of Illinois, and received the Democratic Party's nomination for president in 1952 even though he had not campaigned in the primaries. John Frederick Martin says party leaders selected him because he was "more moderate on civil rights than Estes Kefauver, yet nonetheless acceptable to labor and urban machines—so a coalition of southern, urban, and labor leaders fell in behind his candidacy in Chicago."
Stevenson was defeated in a landslide by Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential election. In 1956 he was again the Democratic presidential nominee against Eisenhower, but was defeated in an even bigger landslide. He sought the Democratic presidential nomination for a third time in the election of 1960, but was defeated by Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. After his election, President Kennedy appointed Stevenson as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. He served from 1961 to 1965, dying on July 14, 1965, in London after suffering a heart attack.

Mr. Stevenson asked Mr. Zorin: “Do you deny that the U.S.S.R has placed and is placing medium and intermediate-range missiles and sites in Cuba? Yes or no?” Mr. Zorin, who was listening to a simultaneous translation of Mr. Stevenson’s question, replied immediately in Russian: “I am not in an American courtroom, sir, and therefore I do not wish to answer a question that is put to me in the fashion in which a prosecutor puts questions. In due course, sir, you will have your reply.” Pressing for a direct answer, Mr. Stevenson informed Mr. Zorin that he was “in the courtroom of world opinion right n...

The CIA's Secret Wars: Bombings, Kidnappings and Assassinations (1981)
The CIA welcomed Fidel Castro on his visit to DC, and gave him a face to face briefing. The CIA hoped that Castro would bring about a friendly democratic government, and planned to curry his favor with money and guns. On December 11, 1959, a memo reached the DI's desk recommending Castro's "elimination". Dulles replaced the word "elimination" with "removal", and set the wheels in motion. By mid August 1960, Richard Bissell (then CIA's Deputy Director for Plans) sought, with the blessing of the CIA, to hire the Mafia to assassinate Castro. At the same time, his men were working on a parallel plan, recruiting a Cuban exile to assassinate him. A little while later, the FBI advised the CIA that it would be impossible to overthrow Castro with these chatty Cuban exiles. In the days before the Ba...

And I am also prepared to present the evidence in this room.” Mr. Stevenson then explained the United States’ photographic evidence as two aides placed a series of mounted displays on an easel in the rear of the chamber. Mr. Stevenson told the Council that the launching pads, planes, and weapons shown in the photographs were part of a much larger complex of advanced weapons placed in Cuba by the Soviet Union.

The CIA welcomed Fidel Castro on his visit to DC, and gave him a face to face briefing. The CIA hoped that Castro would bring about a friendly democratic government, and planned to curry his favor with money and guns. On December 11, 1959, a memo reached the DI's desk recommending Castro's "elimination". Dulles replaced the word "elimination" with "removal", and set the wheels in motion. By mid August 1960, Richard Bissell (then CIA's Deputy Director for Plans) sought, with the blessing of the CIA, to hire the Mafia to assassinate Castro. At the same time, his men were working on a parallel plan, recruiting a Cuban exile to assassinate him. A little while later, the FBI advised the CIA that it would be impossible to overthrow Castro with these chatty Cuban exiles. In the days before the Bay of Pigs, and during the invasion Richard Bissell lied to everyone. He lied to Adlai Stevenson, he lied to the people commanding the mission, guaranteeing them air support while he lied to the President, promising success, and minimal air support.
The Taylor Board was commissioned to determine what went wrong in Cuba. The Board came to the same conclusion that the January 1961 President's Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities had concluded, and many other reviews prior, and to come, that Covert Action had to be completely isolated from intelligence and analysis. The Inspector General of the CIA investigated e Bay of Pigs. His conclusion was that there was a need to drastically improve the organization and management of the CIA. The Special Group (later renamed the 303 committee) was convened in an oversight role.
Subsequent to the shoot-downs of the may day U-2 reconnaissance plane, and a later shoot down in China, Kennedy ordered a 45-day cessation of U-2 flights, including flights over Cuba that had recently discovered the first Soviet high altitude surface-to-air missile launcher site. There were fears of antagonism, and an election was around the corner. During this "photo gap" the CIA received a report from a source from Operation Mongoose, a road watcher describing covered tractor trailers moving that were shaped like large telephone poles. Control of U-2 flights was moved to the Air Force, and October 14 U-2 flights resumed. The Cuban Missile Crisis formally started the next day when American photo analysts identified R-12 1 Megaton MRBMs which could target parts of the east coast with its 2,000 km range. R-14s which could target most of the continental US, as well as 9M21 tactical nukes had also been deployed.
On October 9, 1967, Che Guevara was captured by Bolivian soldiers while attempting to aid a guerrilla uprising. According to since-declassified documents, the soldiers who captured Guevara were armed and trained by the CIA and the Green Berets. A memorandum from National Security Advisor Walt Rostow to President Lyndon B. Johnson suggests that the Bolivian unit which captured and killed Guevara was "the one we have been training for some time."[56] Another memo from Rostow to Johnson from October 11, 1967 confirms the claims of the previous memo, stating that the execution of Guevara "shows the soundness of our 'preventative medicine' assistance to countries facing incipient insurgency--it was the Bolivian 2nd Ranger Battalion, trained by our Green Berets from June–September of this year that cornered him and got him."[57] The memorandum also concluded that Guevara's death "marks the passing of another of the aggressive romantic revolutionaries like Sukarno, Nkrumah, Ben Bella, and reinforces this trend."[57] The role of the CIA is further detailed in a memo dated 3 June 1975, which recounts the debriefing of CIA operative Félix Rodríguez. In his statement, Rodriguez states that he was sent to Bolivia by the CIA to assist in the capture of Guevara and his band of guerrillas. According to Rodriguez, he and a fellow Cuban-American operative "were issued false U.S. re-entry permits" under fake names, after which they were flown to Bolivia and introduced to the Commander-in-Chief of the Bolivian armed forces as "experts on guerrilla warfare."[58] The two men received Bolivian uniforms and credentials as "captains in the Bolivian army", as well as weapons. However, "despite their apparent status a s Bolivian officers," they "never were given orders by higher-ranking Bolivian officers."[58] Rodriguez goes on to claim that, once they had captured Guevara and brought him to the village of La Higuera, he was given the order to "execute Guevara in any manner which he might choose."[58] Rodriguez was the senior "Bolivian officer" in Higueras, and oversaw the Guevara's execution; Rodroguez "told a sergeant of the order to execute Guevara and entrusted the mission to him. He was told to fire below the head," and at 1:20 PM, Rodriguez "heard the shots fired at Guevara."
