Over 900 pages de-classified: Recently I was informed that The State Department has released a new volume of declassified documents on the Congo, during 1960-1968, which includes new materials pertaining to the CIA. They released over 900 pages, including telegrams between CIA station chief Lawrence Devlin and CIA Director in Washington Allen Dulles. It was pretty fascinating to read through the documents, and to see the actual conversations and decision-making during the Congo Crisis.
No mention of Cuban-Exiles: In over 900 pages, there is not ONE mention of the Cuban-exiles and their participation in the CIA's Congo Operation. If you do a word search, there is some mention of the word Cuba, such as "There may be little time left in which take action to avoid another Cuba." But in every spot in the document where there should be a mention of the Cuban-exiles and their efforts, the text simply reads: [less than 1 line not declassified].
Over 50 years later, the US government still refuses to acknowledge the efforts by the Cuban-exiles to help the CIA in what they regard as one of their most successful missions to date. If you are interested in reading the De-Classified Congo Volumes released by the State Department, Click Here
Now more then ever, I am determined to continue my quest to bring this story to light through the medium of film. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, so please join the conversation on our Facebook Page
