David Talbot interviewed Morales' lifelong friend, Ruben Carbajal (there's also a filmed interview with him in an RFK documentary). The Carbajal family owned a popular Mexican restaurant named El Molino that was frequented by Barry Goldwater and other Arizona VIPs; they embraced Morales as one of their own. Carbajal recalled his friend "Didi" with fondness and admiration for his CIA exploits. "When some asshole needed to be killed, Didi was the man to do it," he told Talbot. "You got that right. It was his job. He was very patriotic. He believed in his job to protect the United States and he was going to go after anyone who was against it. He didn't give a damn. If his own brother would have talked against the United States, he would have blown his ass apart."
Carbajal said that "maybe" Morales was in Dallas and Los Angeles at the time of the assassinations, but he might have been visiting family members in L.A. In any case, said Carbajal, neither he nor Morales mourned RFK's death. "We didn't give a shit. Good riddance. Whoever did it, I want to thank them thank you very much." Carbajal says that the CIA killed JFK, without naming any individuals. Morales and Tony Sforza both told him the agency was behind the Dallas plot. The Kennedys got what was coming to them, he insisted. "Kennedy screwed up, caused all those deaths at the Bay of Pigs, he pulls off the planes, the men get caught on the ground. You want me to respect a President like that? Or an asshole like his brother?"
He added that the Kennedys had given "the damn nation to the blacks." "If the son of a bitch caused the deaths of all these people, he deserved to die. You should never go around lying to your people. You go back on your word, you ain't no good. My dad taught me that. I don't give a shit who it is. If it was my own father and he lied to me, he die. Cause you're no good. I was brought up that way. And Didi was that way too, see?" He suspects that Morales sudden illness and death was caused by his CIA associates, who feared he might talk to the HSCA. "I think that's why they knocked him off, cause they didn't want him to say nothing. You ask him a question, like you ask me a question, and he got right to the point, boom, no horse-shitting around…You want the truth, here it is." He told Carbajal he had been drinking Scotch with agency colleagues before leaving Washington for home in Arizona, where he had the heart attack. (Brothers)
