I think his heirs are about to learn a lesson in capitalism. Up yours you commie scum. BTW, I'm going to market home proctology kits with Che's image on the probe. I think they'd sell well in San Francisco and the 2008 RAT convention...

Thos silly commies, always after a quick buck to line their private pockets with. Note that Korda's $70,000 went to a Cuban children's hospital. How interesting that a country with such wonderful health care for all would even accept such a paltry sum that could have been better used to feed all the starving children in the USA instead.

Korda later donated the $70,000 award to children's health care in communist Cuba.

But Cuba already has the best health care in the world. Just ask Hillary.

"Guevara collectibles -- from Zippo lighters to belt buckles and key chains -- can be bought online at thechestore.com."

I'm still laughing at that :) The commie becomes a free enterprise commodity. I can't think of a more fitting insult.

Guevara was captured six months later in the Bolivian jungle, where his bid to start an armed peasant revolution ended in fiasco.

LOL! Thats a nice way of putting it; when said peasants turned him over to authorities.

The picture -- taken by a Cuban photographer in 1960 and printed on posters by an Italian publisher after Guevara's execution in Bolivia seven years later -- fired the imagination of rioting Parisian students in May 1968 and became a symbol of idealistic revolt for a generation.

Idealistic is another way of saying young and ignorant.

CIA Debriefing of Félix Rodríguez, June 3, 1975 When Che Guevara was executed in La Higuera, one CIA official was present--a Cuban-American operative named Félix Rodríguez. Rodríguez, who used the codename "Félix Ramos" in Bolivia and posed as a Bolivian military officer, was secretly debriefed on his role by the CIA's office of the Inspector General in June, 1975. (At the time the CIA was the focus of a major Congressional investigation into its assassination operations against foreign leaders.) In this debriefing--discovered in a declassified file marked 'Félix Rodríguez' by journalist David Corn--Rodríguez recounts the details of his mission to Bolivia where the CIA sent him, and another Cuban-American agent, Gustavo Villoldo, to assist the capture of Guevara and destruction of his guerrilla band. Rodríguez and Villoldo became part of a CIA task force in Bolivia that included the case officer for the operation, "Jim", another Cuban American, Mario Osiris Riveron, and two agents in charge of communications in Santa Clara. Rodríguez emerged as the most important member of the group; after a lengthy interrogation of one captured guerrilla, he was instrumental in focusing the efforts to the 2nd Ranger Battalion focus on the Villagrande region where he believed Guevara's rebels were operating. Although he apparently was under CIA instructions to "do everything possible to keep him alive," Rodríguez transmitted the order to execute Guevara from the Bolivian High Command to the soldiers at La Higueras--he also directed them not to shoot Guevara in the face so that his wounds would appear to be combat-related--and personally informed Che that he would be killed. After the execution, Rodríguez took Che's Rolex watch, often proudly showing it to reporters during the ensuing years.
