Great article James. I've been doing a lot of research in this area and the Holt story has the ring of truth to me.
We know that spook operations are compartmentalized. Few participants know the whole picture. We also know that spooks like to use one operation as cover for another operation. It's easier to persuade assets who want to invade Cuba to participate in a false flag to make that happen, like an apparent Cuban attack on the President, than it is to persuade a bunch of people to participate in an assassination of that president. Compartmentalization allows you to get lots of people to do a small part of the job, while only a few people are involved in the part of the plot that actually kills the president.
What amazes me is that its actually possible to tell who a lot of the players were - people like Holt and Harrelson for sure, but also people like Mac Wallace, Bill Harvey, Johnny Rosseli, E. Howard Hunt, Lucien Sarti, Roscoe White, and maybe also a guy named Lloyd Factor. Not to mention David Ferrie, Clay Shaw, and others who were involved in sheep dipping Oswald. Fascinating stuff.
