Something being thought of and dismissed is just not evidence for that thing being done.
It’s not like it was even that original of an idea. There had been two plane hijackings by cubans in the past year. Proposing “what if a third went wrong” is hardly a masterclasses in outside the box thinking.
We’ve done other false flag operations. Other terrible things to domestic civilians.
Using that time we didn’t actually do anything as an example is just odd.
Personally, I think people like it just because it has a cooler name. “Mongoose” just doesn’t have the same ring.

It did. A plan was formed to the level it could be presented to the president. That happened.
The original part is hijacking your own plane to blame it on another nation as a false flag operation.
OK. So now you are that there is a precedent for attacking our own people. I think we can close the discussion.
MK-Ultra is the coolest conspiracy name. Operation Paperclip is the most boring sounding.
