"While Francisco attempted to coordinate with the anti-Castro forces outside Cuba (in August 1960), deputy Lino B. Fernandez took over...years later Lino Fernandez recalled this period painfully. The resistance did not call the CIA, rather the reverse...'The CIA men wnated to put in our hands the Batista people - members of the army. We didn't like that.' Fernandez related at a 1996 conference. 'We were against Batista. We were fighting against Batista for seven years...there was no way we were using the Batista army.' Cubans struggled to create a resistance, said the former guerilla chieftain, making his point a different way, but the CIA 'tried to create another internal resistance without taking the trouble to find out what was already there.'"
