Ms. Mellen called Warren de Brueys "Oswald's FBI handler" in New Orleans. Was that an educated guess, because Oswald asked to see him, or is there more evidence?
It's a significant question for a number of reasons, because the summer of '63 in New Orleans is obviously the time and place where the patsy-to-be was first sheep-dipped so the blame for the assassination could be put at Castro's feet. This is the first solid evidence I can think of that the plot was unfolding. But it also MAY also have been the time when Oswald was put on the FBI payroll, perhaps as part of the plan to force Hoover to shut down a real investigation after the hit.
I had always assumed Shaw (for the Agency) and Bannister (for the FBI) were the principals in this transaction, but perhaps de Brueys was more involved than I thought. Garrison said this in his old Playboy interview:

I'd like to find out the exact nature of De Brueys' relationship with Lee Oswald. As long as Oswald was in New Orleans, so was De Brueys. When Oswald moved to Dallas, De Brueys followed him. After the assassination, De Brueys returned to New Orleans. This may all be coincidence, but I find it interesting that De Brueys refuses to cooperate with our office significant and frustrating, because I feel he could shed considerable light on Oswald's ties to antiCastro groups.
