Cliff, John,
For the purposes of this thread, I'm not interested in the criminal acts of LBJ or Harriman or anyone else.
OF COURSE those who created Phase I of the cover-up knew it was a lie.
Don't over-complicate my question.
I'll try to ask it one more time:
How were the most powerful people in and around government who, innocent of any involvement in the conspiracy, were told and accepted as being true what today we call the Phase I story, mollified when they asked (and I believe many of them did), "If we go along with this cover-up of Cuban and Soviet complicity for the greater good, how and when will the guilty Cuban and Soviet parties be punished?"
My hope is that I've finally found the words and constructions required to make my point.
Because I'm done trying.

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.
