Reply #24: I was shocked to find how often our "intelligence" heads defied what presidents had ordered . . . [View All]

U-2 flight that went down with Gary Powers being another betrayal of Ike --

On this point, however . . .

Lodge would later help convince Johnson to create the Warren Commission

it shouldn't therefore be assumed that LBJ was an innocent bystander in the coup on JFK --

In fact, I assume he had a leadership role -- if not the original incitement role --

and needless to say, the coup could not have been carried out without him in the Oval office.


But, again, both JFK and Eisenhower were quite often betrayed by "intelligence" officials --
