RM: A few quick points - E. Howard Hunt ALSO said that the CIA killed John Kennedy. Is that not true, too? Remember, E. Howard Hunt is confessing all this stuff to his SON St. John Hunt, not the public at large. So I think Hunt is a lot more trustworthy in these conversations. Saint John was the one of helped his dad destroy evidence, as Hunt was covering up for Watergate. I think Hunt was basically being true with St. John, but it seems that he was protecting himself ("backbencher, my butt!), Allen Dulles, Helms and Angleton.
Hunt's semi-confession reminds me of LBJ telling Madeleine Brown that it was Texas oil and the CIA who murdered John Kennedy, but leaving himself out of the mix. Hunt and LBJ were both far more involved than they let on.
Hunt did not say that the CIA killed Kennedy.
And you hint at what he really said later in this post.
What he is really saying is that a rogue operation of mid level and even low level CIA operatives killed Kennedy. How else does one define people like Sturgis and Morales? And then he throws in Cord Meyer?
I mean c'mon Rob. If you don't see the problem with that, then you really don't understand the CIA or Hunt. Cord Meyer was not an operator. He was a specialist in propaganda. In fact, he later became a prime CIA asset when he donned cover as a news reporter. The only reason Hunt includes him in his motley crew is because of the alleged affair JFK had with Mary Meyer, his former wife.
And for you and Fetzer to still rely on Saint John and his story about "destroying evidence" the night of the Watergate break in shows you have not studied Watergate either. As I noted, it was not Hunt but Baldwin who took the surveillance stuff home that night. He took it to McCord's house. Hunt did not go home after the break in. He went to his office at the White House, and then to the Mullen Company.
See, Hunt was not really involved with the electronic surveillance stuff during Watergate. THat was really Baldwin and McCord. So Saint John appears to be fabricating this aspect to give the impression that Dad let him in on some of his black ops prior.
And you guys fell for it.
