The President has reviewed the discussions of South Vietnam which occurred in Honolulu, and has discussed the matter further with Ambassador Lodge.
I was under the impression President Kennedy was canning Lodge due to the latter's defiance in the Diem coup.
In which Lansdale appears to have figured, producing a violent outcome the president did not desire.
Now the newspaper account of a Lodge feeding coins into a payphone in the lobby of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
Was he talking to a central figure who might also be receiving reports from a Lansdale in Dallas?
A coup does not arise from fortuitous temperature, humidity and wind conditions, but from plans from planners, produced for sponsors, executed by mechanics. No amateurs. Who were the regime-change professionals.
And the curious section 4 of NSAM 273.
What is recrimination.
To make a retaliatory charge against an accuser. To retort bitterly.
More at criminate. Incriminate. To charge with or show proof of involvement in a crime or fault.
The clause removed. There might have been bitterness if 263 had stoodthe Pentagon and CIA would have been furious.
There might have been reaction to the coupexcept the coup was successful.
Treason never prospers; what's the reason.
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
