Years ago James Jesus Angleton left me with the impression that when an intelligence agency, such as the CIA, pulls off an assassination, bombing, or any event with which the agency does not wish to be associated, the agency uses the media to control the explanation by quickly putting into place a cover story that, along with several others, has been prepared in advance. I suggested that the new story that \u201cthe Saudis did 9\/11<\/a>\u201d was put into play to take the place of the worn and battered first cover story.<\/p>\n

When the Oswald cover story for JFK\u2019s assassination<\/a> came under heavy suspicion, other cover stories appeared in the media. One was that the Mafia killed JFK, because he was having affairs with their molls.<\/p>\n

As I wrote, there is no doubt that LBJ covered up the Joint Chiefs\/CIA\/Secret Service plot against JFK, as any president would have done, because the alternative was to destroy the American people\u2019s confidence in the US military and security agencies.
