[422] Final Judgment 519
laundry which will make sure that any incriminating evidence in the files
never sees the light of day.
Under Blakey's legislation, one of the very judges on that appeals court
which would select the panel was former Sen. James L. Buckley—brother
of ex-CIA man William F. Buckley, Jr., agency protégé and longtime friend
of E. Howard Hunt, himself implicated in the JFK murder. Buckley, in an
even earlier incarnation, prior to his single term in the Senate, before being
ousted by the voters of New York, had engaged in lucrative family oil
dealings in Israel.
As we saw in Chapter 9, it was in then-Senator Buckley's New York
office that the anti-Castro Cuban brothers, Guillermo and Ignacio Novo,
met with Mossad-linked mercenary Michael Townley to plot the
assassination of Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier. The Novo brothers, of
course, were named by ex-CIA operative Marita Lorenz as among those
who traveled in a two-car caravan from Miami to Dallas, arriving on
November 21, 1963. Upon arrival in Dallas the CIA hirelings were met by
their CIA paymaster, E. Howard Hunt. They were also visited in their
Dallas quarters by Dallas nightclub keeper Jack Ruby.
So it was that Judge James L. Buckley would have been one of those
who would play a pivotal role in selecting the final arbiters of what the
public will be allowed to see in the JFK assassination files—after, of
course, those files had been carefully laundered by the CIA.
As it was, the Congress did act, after much debate, and approved a bill
requiring government-wide disclosure of documents relating to the
assassination. The disclosure law set up a five-member review board with
the power to obtain assassination records from any government office, the
CIA and FBI and committees of Congress. The board, in fact, began
releasing many documents—some interesting, of course, but nothing so
inflammatory as to require a new investigation.
MARWELL AND THE MOSSAD
Frankly, the release of documents by the JFK Assassination Documents
Review Board was an exercise in futility. The newly released documents
only give the JFK assassination "buffs" something to salivate over. Nothing
truly explosive has come out thus far. Those documents that have been
released only seem to have confirmed everything that has already been a
part of the JFK lore.
The evidence, in fact, suggested that the fox was minding the chicken
coop at the JFK Assassination Records Review Board. David Marwell, the
first head of the review board, is a former historian for the Justice
Department's controversial Office of Special Investigations (OSI), the socalled
"Nazi" hunting unit of the Justice Department.
The OSI, of course, is best known for having spearheaded the reckless
and now widely-discredited persecution of Ukrainian-American John
