Oh, sure, Peter. It always seemed likely to me that CIA's Clay Shaw introduced Russian-speaking Harvey Oswald to FBI man Guy Banister in New Orleans. Or Hoover may have introduced himself sometime after that 1960 imposter memo to State's Office of Security. But sometimes you have to look at the obvious in deciding which agency was the major player here. Neither the FBI nor ONI likely ran Harvey to Russia. And, to my knowledge, JFK didn't threaten to tear the FBI or ONI into a thousand pieces. DPD Captain Westbrook, who clearly had foreknowledge of the hit (because he brought the Oswald/Hidell wallet to 10th and Patton), was surely CIA connected, which is why he soon became a Saigon police adviser.
