government. Yet when we examined the evidence closely, we were
compelled to conclude that the CIA had indeed killed President Kennedy." 590
Despite this stunning conclusion, the media remained silent. Very little
about Hunt's courtroom defeat appeared in the media, particularly the sum
and substance of Miss Lorenz's amazing allegations. This, of course, was
real news in every sense but the media chose to ignore what had taken place
in that Miami courtroom.
Interestingly, however, as we shall see, there was yet another newspaper
report (similar in content to that of Victor Marchetti's disputed article)
which—like Marchetti's—suggests that there was a lot more to the story
than meets the eye.
THE ANGLETON CONNECTION
In fact, the in-house CIA memorandum linking Hunt to the JFK
assassination was the work of Israel's ally at the CIA, James Jesus
Angleton, whose own history we examined in Chapter 8 and whom we
have met repeatedly throughout these pages.
This is not to suggest, though, that Hunt was not in Dallas on either
November 21 or November 22, 1963.
On the contrary, the evidence we are about to relate suggests that Hunt's
presence in Dallas—for whatever purpose—was indeed linked in some
fashion to the circumstances surrounding the JFK assassination
conspiracy.
This evidence suggests, as we shall see, that it was Angleton—who
was also responsible for leaking the memo he drafted that linked Hunt to the
JFK assassination.
Before proceeding further with our exploration of Angleton's deeds and
misdeeds, particularly in relation to Hunt, it is important to review Victor
Marchetti's article (printed in The Spotlight on August 14, 1978) which is
published here in pertinent part:
A few months ago, in March, there was a meeting at CIA
headquarters in Langley, Va., the plush home of America's
super spooks overlooking the Potomac River. It was attended
by several high-level clandestine officers and some former
top officials of the agency.
The topic of the discussion was: What to do about recent
revelations associating President Kennedy's accused assassin,
Lee Harvey Oswald, with the spy game played between the
U.S. and the USSR? A decision was made, and a course o f
action determined. They were calculated to both fascinate and
confuse the public by staging a clever 'limited hangout'
w hen the H o use Spe cial Co mmittee o n Assassinations
(HSCA) holds its open hearings, beginning later this month.
A "li mited hangout" is spy jargon for a favorite and
frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals.
