I get the impression os seeing LeMay in the corner either nodding or declining the requests of the president as Dulles sees him in the corner of his eye.
Dulles is listening to JFK yet needs that nod to proceed... or the nod to keep snowing the man in teh chair about what is really happening.... which is why I feel JFK went ahead and made the Joint Chiefs expressly responsible for CIA related activity.
Just my take on the CIA and their purpose...
It was a researcher, I think, named Cliff Varnell who posted here or on the swamp a timeline about the military statements concerning Oswald on 11/22, and military brass was declaring the investigation essentially complete nearly, or as quickly, as Hoover and the Boys. That's the best evidence I've seen for military involvement, other than the circumstantial stuff developed so well by Douglass, Jim Di and others. A whole lot of people are suspicious of LeMay, I know, but I just wish there was some better evidence.
The Agency sure looks guilty, and the fact that Kennedy was handing over much of the Agency's responsibilities to JCS just makes them look more guilty--without even considering Mexico City and the Oswald Intelligence Project, or Joannides!
