'El Fin Del Che'

[Action]

In Jon Lee Anderson's Biography of the true hero, It told us Che's death as 'according to legend'. Does anyone else know any other variations of legend?

[Conghaileach]

All anyone has to go on about teh truth about Che's execution is the word-of-mouth of those who were present. A lot of bravado by a number of the Green Berets has been shot off, but has usually been inconsistent with other testimonies.

also in the book it talks about the curse of che.

one example of this is the cia agent that caught him (felix rodriguez) developed severe asthma which che suffered from.

others either died or had horible things happen to them.

The book, Compañero (the life and death of Che Guevara) by Jorge Castañeda seems to be a good objective source. I am reading it at the moment. It received good reviews from various reputable people, not raving loons (which is always a good thing).

[Menshevik]

My father met an ex-Bolivian Ranger in La Paz. He said that he was one of the soldiers guarding Che before his execution. He noted how friendly Che was to him and his fellow soldiers, offering them cigarettes and matches.

that jon lee anderson book, che guevara : a revolutionary life your on about is amazing, completely indepth and well written. Anyone want to know anything about him read it now!

At one time I had listened to cassette tapes of Che. Though, he was not a character in the tape, the tape focused on the American's side of the story. They watched him for most of the end of his last days. What I found interesting is they never interrupted his life, only watched it from under a microscope. I remember them saying "That Che Guevara, he wants to rule the world!" Whatever.

Myself, I believe he died of a severe ashma attack. The man was invinsible.

[Smoking Frog II]

Maybe, but there is proof that Guevara was shot.

Did anyone see the picture in the photos in J.L.A's book?

Che guevara, examined by his enemies - All american or american allies.

Why did one of his enemies look like a WW2 nazi officer?


Also: Rodriego- I told him [Cia killer] to shoot che below head so that it would look like he had died in battle.

I have viewed pictures of his body after his death in one of the books written of him. There was mention that a scarf had to be tied around his jaw. The reason being that his face had twisted up pretty badly. Normally, this happens when a person suffers a really bad attack of some kind, like epilepsy or ashma. I have not heard or seen that it occurs in shooting victims.

The Peron family was suspected of having taken in one of the Nazi's back in the 1940's. The Catholic church was also known to provide safe haven for the Nazi's as well. Who knows? One thing I do know, a witness claimed to have seen a Nazi who was running one of the ghettos and butchering the Jews throwing his uniform out the window of his car. He showed no regard or allegience to his uniform. There is no agenda in the hearts of the wicked. The destruction of man kind is the goal.
