The Truth About the "French Connection"
It was in a little publicized libel trial conducted in
M i a mi i n 1 9 8 5 t h a t v e t e ra n K e n n e d y a s s a s s i n a t i o n
investigator Mark Lane proved to the satisfaction of a jury
that the CIA played a part in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Lane's groundbreaking best seller, Plausible Denial, published in
1991, told the whole incredible story.
Evidence from that trial also points toward Israel's
connection to the assassination through the offices of
Israel's CIA ally, Ja mes Jesus Angleton. It was Angleton
who assisted in the cover-up of his favorite foreign nation's
central role alongside the CIA in the murder of JFK.
There is also strange new evidence that there was much

As we saw in Chapter 9, Lane's book told how the Washington-based

the case again went to trial after the initial libel verdict was overturned.
The libel action stemmed from an article published in the pages of The
Spotlight in 1978.
The article was written by Victor Marchetti, an ex-CIA executive officer
who had become internationally famous after he published his best-selling
critique, The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence, the first book ever censored
prior to publication by the CIA.
After leaving the CIA, Marchetti became a journalist, specializing in
matters relating to the CIA and the intelligence community in general. As
such he was a recognized authority in his field and had done a number of
intelligence-related articles for The Spotlight, among numerous other
publications, both here in the United States and abroad.
As a consequence, when Marchetti approached The Spotlight with a
rather intriguing article which gave an interesting new slant on the JFK
