I will agree with Charles and others that LBJ seems to have been chosen to be the guy to take the whole 'rap' on the 50th...the way it is looking - and that must be resisted. He was one [albeit important] cog in a machine built to kill and disguise the killers [even the nature and political/financial ilk of the killers] of JFK. We all have different takes due to many different reasons. My own take is that LBJs main role[s] were post assassination [cover-up] and only a tad before. He may have pointed out Texans and others who could help those more 'active' in setting up the events, but I think he [like Hoover and others] just waited for their cues...keeping their thumbs on the script written by others. As someone on the EF used to say 'your mileage may differ'.
