HUNT BLAMES JFK HIT ON LBJ

January 14, 2007 -- E. HOWARD Hunt - the shadowy former CIA man who organized the Watergate break-in and was once eyed in the assassination of President Kennedy - bizarrely says that Lyndon Johnson could be seen as a prime suspect in the rubout.

Only the most far-out conspiracy theorists believe in scenarios like Hunt's. But in a new memoir, "American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate & Beyond," due out in April, Hunt, 88, writes: "Having Kennedy liquidated, thus elevating himself to the presidency without having to work for it himself, could have been a very tempting and logical move on Johnson's part.

"LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place. He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. Connolly, to ride with him instead of in JFK's car - where . . . he would have been out of danger."

8. This gets curiouser and curiouser.

This death.

Cheney's possible implication as an unindicted co-conspirator.

Bush's SOTU address.

9. He was 89.

I think that may be the cause, of course, I could be wrong on that one.

Usually makes more sense than tin-foil type explanations.

Okay, prayers to his family. Whew.

14. I'm a mom and I'm certain this soul is now warning a bench in Hell

15. Any relation to Lamar Hunt who just died?

Lamar Hunt - owner of the KC Chiefs - and personal friend of Dick Cheney died a few months ago. I read of his involvement in the CIA and several right wing causes ... and something about publishing a hit piece on JFK the day he died in Dallas. Just curious if anyone knows of a connection ... thanks

17. no relation

Different Hunt.

Wow. Why do I feel like somebody just walked across my grave?

the Hunts here were from South Arkansas and then here. (Dallas)
