I dunno about you but I don;t see Castro as a reliable source of credible information. Especially when it benefits him

He quite possibly helped elect Reagan, after Jimmy Carter offered amnesty to Cubans and Castro responded by realeasing a bunch of prisoners into US waters. I'd never heard about the 1984 story, though.
