Fabián Escalante is a former head of Cuban counterintelligence and a respected and much-sought-after authority by US researchers on CIA activities. Following the Watergate scandal and the 1975 US Senate commission, which revealed an extensive program of CIA plots against foreign leaders, the US government established a congressional committee to re-examine the Kennedy assassination. As there was growing speculation about the role of anti-Castro exiles hostile to Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the Cuban government was asked to provide any information it might have. President Castro assigned Fabián Escalante to direct this Cuban investigation in 1978. Escalante was a key source for Oliver Stone’s movie JFK.Published as part of the series The Secret War.
