I told Ken,
"I decided early on I could not solve JFK's assassination but would try to do something more modest and achievable: to describe what the events of 1963 looked like through the eyes of a trusted top CIA official. And they looked very suspicious, which is to say conspiratorial."
In my own view, there was merit to Scott's fears. He saw the JFK case from the inside. If Oswald had ever come to trial, he would have been a material witness. He knew counterintelligence techniques and he knew the use of agents. He went to his grave believing and saying that Oswald was someone's agent. There is no proof of that, of course, but as the book details somebody--maybe his good friend Jim Angleton--cut him out of the loop on the latest intelligence reporting on Oswald. six weeks before Kennedy was killed.
Some people say there's nothing suspicious in the newly declassified CIA paper trail, that the transmission of information about Oswald before Kennedy was killed was "routine." I agree. The paper trial is consistent with Oswald being an agent in a routine counterintelligence operation that went awry on November 22.

You may know about the the photo used for the cover of "Barry & The Boys" by Daniel Hopsicker. Hopsicker says it's of more or less the CIA assassination squad in Mexico City in the early 1960s and includes Barry Seal, Felix Rodriguez, maybe Porter Goss, and others you might be familiar with if what he asserts is true. The link below is to Hopsicker's site's online book/DVD store. http://www.madcowprod.com/store.html, and includes a shot of Barry & The Boys.
P.S. My grandfather was sales veep of Standard Coffee Company in N.O. from about the middle 1930s through 1963, which includes the summer LHO worked there. Standard's owners, two Irish-American brothers, the Reilys, were known to be well-known right-wing figures, though not the Irish brothers who owned the land north of Lake Pontchartrain where the Cuban exiles and Ferrie, et al, were filmed training. A man at Standard named Monahans (SP?) was "the money man" (as my grandfather's protege called him about a decade ago when I last spoke with him) brought in from Whitney Bank, I believe, to front for the company durng the JFK fallout afterward, including testimony to either Congress or the Warren Commission. He'd been an FBI man and, I seem to remember, worked security for corporate interests in Central America prior to his Whitney job. All neither here nor there but wanted to tell someone what little I know in case it ever helps shed any light. Also, my grandfather was fired very shortly after JFK was killed and the Reilys changed the locks. My Papa and they used to have screaming matches in exec meetings due to tempers and different opinions and they 'coincidentally' didn't want him around any longer after that time period. Oh, and they bought my Papa a new Lincoln from Bohn Ford after they forced him out, Bohn having been the dealer of choice for the N.O. 'made men' including spooks. Good day!
