I never heard of this before... pretty crazy stuff. Ostensibly the CIA proposed to JFK faking terrorist attacks inside US borders and blaming Cuba. Thankfully Kennedy said no.

Makes you wonder tho about Vietnam, the Gulf, etc. I wont even mention the other incident ... I'll let a crazy tin foil hat person bring that up. I wonder if a Northwoods like situation has ever occurred or will ever be actioned...

Al-Qaida didn't exist until after 2001. USA just had to give something a name that the people could be mad at. Basically, Al-Qaida is a NA term. At least that's what was explained to me.
