Charles Drago Wrote:My educated guess -- and it's just that: a supposition predicated as much upon instinct as upon accumulated knowledge and hard-won experience -- is that Waldron's books stand as E. Howard Hunt's magnum opus of disinformation.

The only book I read by Waldron and his partner Thom Hartmann was "Ultimate Sacrifice" and it was, in my strong opinion, propaganda of the "mob dunnit" flavor.
The HSCA made it officially sanctioned propaganda in the late 70's after the Lone Nut propaganda failed to convince people. Their finding that the JFK assassination was the result of a "probable conspiracy" led to the era of the "mob dunnit" lie. Disinformation agents and the guillible uninformed eagerly spread the lie to this day.
The mafia was joined at the hip with the CIA in the JFK era, so in that sense--since the CIA did the wet work for the assassination sponsors--they were of course involved. That's very different from saying the mob alone dunnit, meaning the military and rich industrialists and rabid right wingers didn't do it.
In fact, military and rich industrialists and rabid right wingers and CIA and Dallas mayor and Dallas PD and secret service--an others--dunnit.
