     Just reading the "facts" in this note (1500 Cuban soldiers, work under
     way on missile emplacements) suggests why some people are skeptical
     about "official" reports on any US action.  Among other things, it
     is very difficult to believe that the invasion was done at the un-
     solicited request of the neighbor islands; there had to be a lot of
     planning and training before something like this would be attempted,
     and the coup didn't happen that long ago.  While I don't necessarily
     claim that the invasion was wrong (I am waiting for the truth to come
     out), I certainly don't believe what I hear from the administration or
     most of the media (see my note in net.politics posted Oct. 26, the day
     of the invasion).
