When the old spymaster thought he was dying, his eldest son came to visit him. In the CIA, [Howard Hunt] had helped to mastermind the violent removal of a duly elected leftist president in Guatemala and assisted in subterfuges that led to the murder of Che Guevara. But his first-born son, [Saint] was by his side now. For years, he and Saint had hardly spoken. Then Saint came to him wanting to know if he had any information about JFK's assassination. His father had sworn in two government investigations that he didn't. But now, in August 2003, propped up in his sick bed, he began to write down the names of men who participated in a plot to kill the president. He scribbled the initials LBJ", standing for Kennedy's vice-president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ", connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that has never been solved. Next, his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, another CIA man and a well-known, vicious black-operations specialist. Then his father connected to Morales's name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll". So there it was: according to Hunt, LBJ had Kennedy killed. And that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dallas. There was also, on the grassy knoll, a French gunman, presumably the Corsican mafia assassin Lucien Sarti. A few weeks later, Saint received in the mail a tape recording from his dad. Hunt's voice on the cassette is weak and grasping, but he essentially remakes the same points he made in his handwritten narrative.
