Myra,
To be brief, I believe Vidal got wind of the olive branch the Kennedy administration was offering to Castro via Lisa Howard.
Vidal wasn't happy and began plans to hit JFK in Miami. He took this to his contact Col. Bishop aka Clarence Ward Bishop aka John Adrian O'Hare.
O'Hare was an asset of David Morales and I submit, this was the Agency's first contact with the basic assassination plot. Hence the plan expanded to involve a patsy, to blame Castro and a dangling carrot to the various participants that they would get their Cuba back.
This is what kept Vidal interested and when it did not come to be, he was not happy and spoke out about it. Certain events were then put into action that ultimately led to his capture and execution inside Cuba.
Vidal did not like or trust the CIA and they as an organization did not like him. I also do not think the CIA as an organization were behind the assassination although several folk who were employed by them were.
Re the second man I mentioned, this was Tony Cuesta who I also think was mixed up in the events of Dallas. Nagell for one was keen to get Dick Russell to look in that direction.
I also believe that the assassination conspiracy and the subsequent cover-up were two different things.
Cheers,
James
