We Have Castro to Thank

While many people have often expressed ill will towards Cuba and Fidel Castro, I stumbled upon an article that discussed Castro's help in saving President Reagan from an assassination plot. It seems quite ironic that Castro provided information that saved the life of a president of the United States, while the article states that the CIA has made 638 attempts to kill Fidel Castro. The article can be found here. Hope you enjoy it!

Interesting, but do any of the claims hold water?

The "The FBI said it would take some time to check the veracity of the claims." line sounds a bit...fabricated. The FBI would not investigate assassination plots, that is the job of the secret service.

Other than a claim by Castro, known for gross exaggeration and the fact that Reagan was in N. Carolina sometime in 1984 (which is not unusual at all) there really isn't much there.
