I don't want to muddy the waters, but I'd like to make two comments.
1. I've said before that I think it would have been insane for the plotters to have included LBJ if for no other reason than deniability, but it would have been equally nuts not to have dropped hints that something major was up. (Don't want him collapsing with a nervous breakdown right?)
2. Didn't Sen. Yarborough say that during the cade, LBJ and his bodyguard Youngblood were intently hunched over a walkie-talkie which was turned way down so Yarborough couldn't hear what was being said or broadcast?
Not saying he was a "mastermind", but pretty suspicious. Could he have been "brought into it" very late or even the last minute?
(Oh all right, THREE comments! :
