What Happened to State Dept'ers in Mexico Who Suspected LHO-Cuba Ties

[John Corbett]

LP:

You are correct, Booth was (we read) part of a plot.

I don't know why Dulles said what he said about all presidential assassinations being LN-jobs, except possibly to underline for the WC that they were on the LN track. Dulles attended more WC meetings than any other commissioner, and seemed to be the most influential. Obviously, he was former CIA.

Since I was not alive in 1865, and never saw Booth, I will not contest Booth for being the most handsome in US history. Maybe I am only the second-most handsome man in US history.

Or, for you English teachers, perhaps I am the second most handsome man in US history.

Liittle known fact:

In 1864 People magazine named Booth their Sexiest Man Alive.

Again: Where's the evidence that Mann and/or Thomas were punished for asking questions about what Oswald did in Mexico City? I don't see any. And Mann being appointed Assistant Secretary of State and, at the same time, head of USAID is not for me any transfer. It's two promotions. He left the posts in 1967 because a new Administration was coming in.

I see no evidence of him being punished for his inquiries.

Here is Mann's interview (summary) with the HSCA. Nowhere does he mention anything about being punished. He says that Dean Rusk ordered the State Department officials to cease inquiring about this question of what Oswald did in MC. Nothing about the CIA or FBI or others inquiring.

Here is the interview: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=109665#relPageId=2&search=Mann

Here, for me, is a key point:



Right, so Rusk and others (unnamed) were worried that any investigation would have revealed US covert operations in Mexico City. Nothing about worries about WWIII.
