Hell the CIA had enough trouble trying to kill Castro, exploding cigars etc, etc etc, that this would almost write itself. And since they were so bad at killing a normal human I doubt they would ever get suspicious that Clarke manages to avoid every trap they set for him.
Alternate take. Castro was an alien...
You make the wrong assumptions there. The truth behind why we hear about laughable attempts for Castro and not much more isn't that this is how the CIA rolls. It could also be that this is one of the few times they failed at all.
Issue there is that they couldn't try to kill him directly. Always had to be by proxy.
With Che they learned from all the Castro attempts and just straight up tortured him to death
Huh? Che was captured and executed by Bolivians.
Bolivian funded by and answerable to the CIA. The CIA funded his hunt and capture but conveniently claim they didn't want him dead. In the end it was the CIA money that killed him
The CIA wanted him sent to Panama, Bolivians themselves chose to kill him.
But Che was executed by the Bolivian army before the CIA could interrogate him? They didn't get a chance to torture him.
