Many references have been made to Rolando Masferrer's editorial condoning bombing. The editorial was published in his newspaper Libertad on October 24, 1975. He was blown to his death in his car on October 31, 1975. The editorial, titled [original text in Spanish], APENDEJATION is not a word one finds in the dictionary. It comes from the slang term "pendejo", meaning pubic hair, but means a coward/chicken/wimp when used to refer to a person. The loose translation would be "chicken shit mentality [of exiles]". He condones the work of Humberto Lopez. Jr. who was wounded making book bombs.Dade County Homicide asks CIA for help in Murder of John Roselli plus Masferrer
