Time Warp Again- What Year IS it?

the U.S. AttyGeneral overules scores of DoJ attorneys who conclude that such actions would be illegal and violate international treaties of which the U.S. was a signatory. the USAG says "the treaties are very old and do not reflect modern conditions" .... (i wonder if he used the word "quaint"?)

USAG Gonzales on the Geneva Accords, Wiretapping w/o warrant? ... NO.

USAG Robert F. Kennedy on U.S. covert assistance to Cuban "insurgents" in March 1961.

.... (five weeks before the "Bay of Pigs" invasion).... CORRECTION: the DoJ survey was conducted in the fall of 1961 in the aftermath of the disaster. RFK vetoed (overruled) the report's conclusions of illegality.
