Quote:CD's question: "Do you accept the so-called 'confession' of E. Howard Hunt as a completely truthful statement made without hidden agendas to deceive and disinform?"
JF's answer: "It was basically truthful, of course, since he was unburdening his conscience to his son as he was approaching death."
Jim - having analyzed all that is known about E Howard Hunt - his life, his known actions, his extensive fictional forays, his ruthlessness - is this your considered, informed, position on his 'confession'?
NB Prof Fetzer's answer is longer, and can be seen in this thread, but the above is the first sentence of his response to the question.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
