(24,979 posts)That the usual faction of WCR defenders aren't present in this thread. Because what can the answer possibly be? Even Posner and Epstein felt they had to go along with the demand that the CIA release the Ioannides files -- the "deputy director for psychological warfare" at the JM-WAVE / Mongoose squad attacking Cuba and apparently running assassinations out of Miami, who then became the CIA liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, without anyone on the HSCA knowing that this guy was directly involved with the anti-Castro Cubans they were investigating!

However, note that even Posner can be right about something. At the end of the above linked NYT article, he is quoted as follows:
Mr. Posner, the anti-conspiracy author, said that if there really were something explosive involving the C.I.A. and President Kennedy, it would not be in the files not even in the documents the C.I.A. has fought to keep secret.
Most conspiracy theorists dont understand this, Mr. Posner said. But if there really were a C.I.A. plot, no documents would exist.
