Wonder if the Brothers to the Rescue are giving the US Military . . .


advice about how to invade the airspace -of Venezuela - they did it so well to Cuba. Yet, the shootdown helped the BTR learn that it was a very silly and dangerous thing to do.

This is a huge provocation.

On edit, adding info. from earlier D.U. posts:

May 15, 1991: Jose Basulto, an ex-Bay of Pigs mercenary, well-known terrorist and CIA agent, establishes the so-called Brothers to the Rescue. He asks President George H. Bush for three U.S. Air Force type 0-2 planes, the military version of the Cessna which had been used in the war against the Salvadoran people.

Congresswoman Ileana Ross heavily lobbies until the three planes are obtained. A photo of the planes received by this counter-revolutionary group appears in the press for the first time in a July 19,1991 article by the publisher of the Miami Herald, who also actually flies with Brothers to the Rescue. The letters USAF (United States Air Force) are clearly visible on the planes.
