I accept the apology CD. Let us try and stay civil about these things. We are on the same side.
Greg: I sent you a PM at Spartacus about the request. I don't know how to do that here.
Phil:
Thanks for acknowledging the Bay of Pigs chapter. I really wanted to make that a highlight of the book. Since I am convinced now that it was a key event in the assassination.
I was determined to find the Charles Murphy article in Fortune which was ghosted by Dulles and Howard Hunt. It took awhile and I had to wait a week since it was about 30 miles away. BUt I got it. Its one of those things that many people talk about, but they never actually quote from or include in their bibliography. Then I found the letter in Garrison's files from Murphy to Lansdale saying that, when Kennedy read the essay he was so angry that he stripped Murphy of his Air Force reserve status.
And here is the kicker: Murphy didn't mind since his loyalty was not to Kennedy, but to Allen Dulles! He actually put that in writing. I mean you imagine these guys thinking like this, but to see it in writing in a signed letter, that was really jarring. When I read that I had to get the article. And it was even worse than I thought it would be. That's when I knew I really had something new and relevant.
