Guevara was in his time known as a charismatic leader and his image is still used as an iconic one which adorns millions of t-shirts as well as a whole raft of paraphernalia. It is for this reason Intelligence analysts in recent decades have refrained from recommending killing terrorist leaders so as to avoid creating the image of a [[martyr]]. [[Yasser Arafat]] and [[Osama bin Laden]] are two of the most prominent examples of this policy of not creating living legends in death by executing a terrorist leader.
'''Ernesto "Che" Guevara''' (b. June 14, 1928, died October 9th, 1967) was a guerrilla Marxist leader, with Fidel Castro, of the Cuban revolution and a cultural icon for liberals, leftists and radical anarchists. His image is still used as propaganda which adorns millions of t-shirts and posters as a counterculture symbol.

== Early Life ==
Guevara was the eldest of five children born to father Ernesto and mother Cecilia in Rosario, Argentina. His schoolmates nicknamed him 'pig' (Chancho) because he rarely bathed, something he was rather proud of. <ref>[http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/189688.php Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Forty Years, Still Dead] The Jawa Report, October 8, 2007</ref>
== Cuba Revolution==
In 1955, Guevara met with Raul and Fidel Castro to plot the overthrow of US-backed Fulgencio Batista government. Their first revolutionary plan was an assault on Cuba from Mexico. Castro promoted Guevara to commander status. He had a plan to attack 1500 Batista forces that had encircled Castro's forces. He defeated Batista's forces and marched on toward Havana. On New Years Eve 1958, Batista's forces were defeated and on New Years day, Batista fled to the Dominican Republic.
==Castro's Cuba==

Guevara was appointed commander of the La Cabaña Fortress prison. He oversaw the trial and execution of many former Batista regime officials. Roberto Martin-Perez was imprisoned for 30 years in Castro's dungeon prison. Roberto says "Castro ordered mass murder...in order to consolidate his power." Guevara, as Castro's chief executioner, relished the slaughter of defenseless men and boys. <ref>[http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=86DE50D7-E16B-42C6-B61E-035B6A1F541D Che Guevara: Mass Murderer and Coward] Frontpage Magazine, June 13, 2007</ref> Guevara became feared for his brutality and ruthlessness. During the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, Castro order Guevara to take up a command post in Western Cuba. He never say any fighting and did not participate in the Cuban victory. In December 1964, he gave a speech before the U.N. General Assembly mocking Imperialism of the USA.
