...Guevara was at his most consistent during an incredible three-month tour that started last December with a U.N. appearance and continued on to Algeria, West Africa, Cairo and Peking. The U.N. speech attacking the U.S. and other "imperialist powers" was ultrabelligerent, going so far as to accuse U.S. marines of "sexual exhibitionism" on the perimeter of the Guantanamo naval base. A few days later, on CBS-TV's Face the Nation, Guevara loudly owned up to promoting Communist revolution in Latin America. "When people are fighting for their freedom, it would not be moral...

The one place where their influence was still strong until recently was in Castro's overseas operations, where, at Che Guevara's inspiration, the whole tone was a blatant call for immediate bloody revolt.
