Fidel Castro and the Exploding Pigeons

Brittany takes Sydni on a trip through the CIA’s most ridiculous “master plans,” starting with the endless (and endlessly dumb) attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro — exploding cigars, poisoned wetsuits, and other Looney Tunes-level plots. Then we dive into Project Pigeon, the real U.S. government plan to train pigeons to steer literal bombs. It’s spycraft meets slapstick, and proof that sometimes history feels like it was written by The Onion.
