Since you bring this up in relation to 9/11, my comments in comparing 
these two events are.
1. This "operation", while obviously designed to generate support for an 
attack against Cuba, clearly involves no deaths or unplanned collateral 
damage. According to the info there, it was planned to be an elaborate 
show, including "mock funerals".
2. I do not believe this particular document is made up. At least it is 
an actual archived document, unlike all of the "evidence" that 9/11 
conspiracy folks have, like "I'm a plumber but in my professional 
opinion a commercial aircraft could not have created this damage".
3. If it is indeed true, it is disturbing, but also, it was just an idea 
that was "never officially accepted or executed".  I'm certain there are 
plans

The govt has had many really stupid ideas in the past that thankfully 
were not given any more consideration than being filed away in an 
archive, which people later find  to read about and use as evidence of 
what they could possibly be still trying to do today. As I said before, 
I'm surprised that people really think that the govt would purposefully 
murder thousands of people just to play a blame game. If our govt is 
really capable of doing that, we are all screwed. I prefer to think that 
we (as a society, as a people, as a race) have "evolved" past the point 
of barbaric violence without reason (or wrong reasons). Some may call it 
naive, but I hope it's just optimism.
