Operation Mongoose

[Charles Collins]

You are the one interjecting the word "affiliated." I used the word "associated." Affiliated means officially attached or connected. Associated means just plain old connected (not necessarily officially).

Regardless of what one might have called them in 1963. They fit the definition of terrorists as is used in today's world.

C'mon, Charlie...I thought we were going to have a candid an honest discussion.....

The point is.... Who the hell cares about the fine point definition of "affiliated" and "associated'...  IMO that's just a cheap dodge...in an effort to avoid the crux of the question..

OK back to square one....   WHO was Lee sending information to??

So where the hell did this name "Nichilaveva" come from??   WHO is "Nichilaveva"

Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova

Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova

Nikollayevna.....  Means that Marina was born out of wedlock.....Marina's father was named Nikolai  and her mother's name was Prusakova.....  And Marina's name was Marina Prusakova.    Nowhere did she ever use the name Marina Nichilaveva..... 

I don't believe that Lee was simply misspelling a word that means that Marina was the illegitimate daughter of Nikolai....I believe that Lee had learned the name of a Russian agent named Nichilaveva.....and was passing that info to the FBI....
