JMASH documented
“Reynolds got no photo intelligence because no one in JM Ash had the necessary clearances. Now, keep in mind, in our other project we're working on on the U2, they're flying the hell out of Cuba. They're flying there daily. They're doing zig…”

The base masqueraded as a Coral Gables branch of a New York headhunter firm with a Pentagon contract. So we've got an HR company that's a proprietary of the CIA being funded by the Pentagon, not the CIA, that is being led by the CIA. Reynol…

between hunt and droller. An 11-year agency veteran, Reynolds had served in Mexico, Argentina, spoke fluent Spanish, and headed the Cuba branch of the D.O. Western Hemisphere when Castro had taken power. He knew Esterling from his OSS days.…

a nexus that united many people on this project. Among the first people selected for the WH4 task force, Reynolds had another headache besides the Hunt-Droller conflict, a second-in-command who outranked him. But Bob had been Esterling's or…

At the end of the day, it's a photo. Nope, you don't have to tell them where it came from. We have satellites up there too. Could have just been a satellite. Nope, no photos. Two of his maritime specialists were overwhelmed with the boats a…

Huh. Bob Reynolds left temporarily, replaced by Robert Davis. The former Guatemalan chief stepped on toes like Jay Gleehoff's refugee reception center, a major source of recruits for the CIA exile teams. Next, the CIA dispatched Albert Cox.…
