This phrase is the important thing. Whomever gave the go order are way above the pay grade of your Cubans. I think you make a decent case for the trigger men.
I think Allen Dulles and Nelson Rockefeller are names that get you a lot closer.
What's more important, the chicken, or the rooster? gave orders? I don't think that after the Bay of Pigs no one had to give any orders, if someone ordered you to jump off a bridge would you? Is someone who ordered the men to kill Kennedy more important then the ones who pulled the trigger? We think differently.
I agree that it's more important to know who organized the plot. Twenty years ago, I thought it was entirely the work of a few angry Cuban exiles and mobsters and rogue CIA people. Today, I see too many elements that point to a higher-level plot - like the security stripping in the motorcade, the military autopsy, and many other things - at least involving some of the Joint Chiefs, military intelligence, higher level CIA people. Above them, who knows?
