You have a very rosy view of the Central Intelligence Agency, my friend! CIA agents are and were not infallable. Besides, assasinating a foreign leader is not so easy as it seems, it requires alot of help from insiders that are not always easy to reach or particularily loyal to the cause.

I forget under which president, but by law CIA agents can not assasinate foreign leaders anymore.

That the CIA tried to kill Castro is no news at all (I particularily remember the poisoned cigar case), I doubt the 600 number but read a little on this website, it has sources for every claim:
