I've known about Theodore Shackley and the so-called "Terpel-Wilson (secret) Team" since before the Iran-Contra scandall.
During the 1980s, I lived in San Jose, Ca. and listened weekly to a unique radio show called "One Step Beyond", which was hosted by Dave Emory and a co-host named Nip Tuck, and which was aired on a public radio station at Foothill Junior College, KFJC-FM.
The show consisted of the hosts reading from articles and books on various political subjects including Iran-Contra, the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, and much more.
Before "One Step Beyond", Dave Emory co-hosted a similar radio program which aired on the public radio station at San Jose State University
One night, they were talking about the JFK assassination and Jim Garrison's unsuccessful attempts to extradite witnesses from Ohio and California, because the Republican governors of those states refused to cooperate with Garrison.
One of the names that came up was a guy named Gordon Novel, a private investigator and electronics expert who worked for Clay Shaw in New Orleans. and who CA Governor Ronald Reagan refused to extradite to New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, who wanted to question him about the JFK assassination.
A few minutes later, a guy identifying himself as Gordon Novel called into the show and said he was driving through San Jose on his way to San Francisco and heard his name mentioned.
Dave Emory, a self-described skeptic, asked the guy a few questions, and decided that the guy was, indeed, Gordon Novel.
Emory asked Novel if he was the one who erased the 18 minutes from Nixon's infamous Watergate tape, and Novelle answered " Hey, only because they didn't pay me."
You can Google Gordon Novel, as well as Dave Emory,and the "One Step Beyond" radio show if you're interested.
In my opinion, Dave Emory is not merely a "conspiracy nut", despite the facts surrounding his friendship with the late Mae Brussel, and his falling-out with those who are now in charge of Mae Brussel's taped radio broadcasts
Mae was the first person to ever completely annotize the entire Warren Commission Report, all 26 volumes
