First, thanks for the hint that Fanon died in Maryland and not in New York. 
But I think it had other reasons that Fanon changed his view in his last life 
years. The possible CIA connection I think can be explained that he was used 
as an first class "information resource". Maybe he had no idea that he had 
contact with CIA guys. Before his disease he was the "ambassador" of the FLN 
in Accra. He was a black man who had difficulties with the Arabian FLN. He 
felt that he was "pushed away" to the position in Accra by the FLN. And: as 
far as I know he was born in Martinique where racism was an every day-life 
experience. This early traumatization was renewed by the unfair "treatment" 
of him by the FLN.
And: the US Government had a "neutral" attitude towards the French colonial 
war in Algeria, neither for it nor against it (as long as the Soviet Union 
hesitated to take part in the war at the side of the FLN - and the Soviets 
hesitated a long time as Stalin in the Spanish civil war). So why Fanon 
shouldn't go into the US - they weren't their enemies but France.
