Gil, et al,
I suggest that the communications between JFK and Momo -- if in fact the president ever really participated in the correspondence -- descend to the deepest of deep political levels.
Through our studies we have learned that cover story callouses are multi-layered and often boast colorful, dramatic contours intentionally created to titillate and otherwise capture the imaginations of intended observers.
Meanwhile, the wound beneath festers.
I repeat: These are mini-dramas, replete with exotic characters and plots, that seem to hyptonize us over generations.
Is it not just as likely that forces opposed to a JFK/Khrushchev-led effort to end the Cold War were waging a campaign to support the belief that the president was trying to double-cross his Soviet partner?
If so, would not a written record of discussions between a powerful LCN leader and "JFK" invovling plans to kill Castro even as the president simultaneously was attempting to bring hostilities to an end serve the dual purposes of scuttling the peace initiative AND setting up "the mob" as a false sponsor in the assassination that, should these efforts fail and peace loom, become a necessity?
Or perhaps JFK was playing a dangerous double game -- but not of the sort we're led to believe he played by maintaining the so-called two-track approach to Cuba.
In order to insulate his peace efforts, JFK may have been encouraging his enemies -- political, military, and overtly criminal -- to believe that he was going to kill Castro.
And he had to make it look very, very good.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
