It cannot see what takes place at nighttime. and obviously. it cannot see inside caves. Almost everything our intelligence chiefs know about Cuba now is what can be seen on open ground in the daytime from a high altitude. Our intelligence services also do not know how many Soviet troops are in Cuba now. or how many were there at any other time. Last October we came very close to having to fight in Cuba. this time with American troops. not refugees. At that time our intelligence services estimated considerably less than 8.000 Soviet personnel in Cuba. Now they say there were at least 22.000 Soviet troops in Cuba last October.
