Had Operation Northwood involved actually KILLING John Glenn and then blaming it on the Cubans, you'd have a valid comparison.

"America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: 'We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.'"
You were...um..saying? I understand, they didn't do it. But they did contemplate it. And I don't think we flew jets into our own buildings, any more than I think the Holocaust is a hoax. Some people are just crazy.
