I was maybe a bit too rash in suggesting that Skyhorse is CIA. These delays may be just par for the course. Time will tell.
Of course, we can jump the gun and discuss what the implications would be if Otto Skorzeny were QJ/WIN.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would mean Skorzeny was working face to face with Robert Kennedy for a period of time as part of ZR/RIFLE. Having read one of Skorzeny's memoirs and also a Skorzeny biography, I personally don't think Skorzeny was all that great of a planner or an assassin. I don't think he assassinated anyone while working for Hitler. He was so careful that he was able to "keep his nose clean" during the Third Reich. That meant he was put on trial by the US after the War and was exonerated.
So you would have to wonder, if he kept clean under Hitler, would he expose himself to murder charges in 1963?
Skorzeny's main asset was that he was terrific at promoting his "brand". Also, his main skill in operational matters was being able to think on his feet and go to plan B and plan C in real time, sometimes inventing his own Plans B and C.
That would not be a good fit for planning the JFK assassination, since it did not involve a small team of hit-men with a leader on the ground who had to improvise. It could have, but as far as we know, it didn't.
If Skorzeny worked for the CIA, his reputation and his "brand" would have been what the CIA was after. They, too, mostly relied upon their "brand" and didn't accomplish much in the 1950's or 1960's, in my opinion (except for the U-2 program).
