[604] Final Judgment 702
Shaw's longtime ties to the CIA. Lambert's amazing contortion reads as
follows (with emphasis added):
"Still, the full extent of [Shaw's] association with
the agency is for now unclear. Clouding the issue is a
CIA project from the 1960s known as QK/ENCHANT.
The CIA apparently approved Shaw (perhaps without
his knowledge) for this project, which, by one
unofficial account, was nothing more than a program
for routine debriefing of individuals involved in
international trade. At this point, what
QK/ENCHANT actually was, whether or not it ever
came to fruition, and what, if anything, Shaw knew
about it, also remain unknown. But Shaw's work for
the CIA, whatever it was, is irrelevant. Since Garrison
never connected him to the assassination, linking him
to the CIA meant nothing thirty years ago, and it
means nothing today."
Note the wordplay: "the full extent . . . is for now unclear . . . clouding . . .
apparently . . . perhaps . . . by one unofficial account . . . whether or not . .
also remain unknown . . . whatever it was."
Then Lambert tells us that since (in her judgment) Garrison failed to
connect Shaw to the assassination, Shaw's CIA link meant nothing anyway.
Lambert herself unwittingly reveals that Shaw wasn't simply just
another American businessman who had a brief association with the CIA as
part of his international travels. On page 325 of her book Lambert points
out that CIA documents themselves reveal that Shaw was first contacted by
the CIA in 1948 and was contacted by the CIA a total of thirty times over
the next eight years. Lambert expects us to assume that all of the CIA
documents that she cites are the only CIA documents relative to the work
that Shaw performed for the agency—a leap of faith indeed.
Despite all this, Miss Lambert (of course) does not address the
possibility that Shaw was also, during the same time frame, working in
concert with Israel's Mossad. Miss Lambert cites no Mossad documents one
way or the other in that regard. But the fact is that we do know that Shaw
was indeed closely associated with the Mossad through Permindex.
On page 285 of her book Lambert adds that: "There is no evidence that
Shaw's connection with [Permindex was] part of a secret life as a high-level
international intelligence agent. . . Shaw certainly made no effort to keep his
association with the group a secret: in 1962 he listed it in the biographical
information published in Who's Who. Had he been aware of the group's
intelligence connection, it seems unlikely that he would have done that."
This, of course, presupposes, first of all, that Shaw knew in 1962 that
Permindex would play a part in the JFK assassination in 1963 and that, in
fact, Permindex would be linked to the crime. After all, it wasn't the intent
