Thanks, Jan.
The context of my question is relatively narrow, as you rightfully suggest.
How could non-conspiratorial Cold Warriors who accepted as true the Phase I argument that Cubans/Soviets did it AND agreed to go along with the patsying of LHO in order to stave off nuclear war be expected to let the "real" killers of JFK off the hook forever?
Is it a simple matter of telling them later that ROGUE ELEMENTS of Cuban and/or Soviet intelligence and/or military services were responsible, and that those individuals would be targeted for liquidation in due time?
Again, might the murder of Che -- among others -- have been passed off as JFK retribution?

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.
