Jeff Morley, who says there is a "fact pattern" that the CIA was somehow involved in the JFKA, says there is a "paucity" of evidence that Castro was involved (see below).
Maybe so. But then---
Fidel Castro, through the Brazilian ambassador, warned "U.S. leaders" in September 1963 that they would "not be safe" if they continued aiding "terrorist plans to eliminate Cuban leaders". (Fidel also told a reporter the same thing).
This warning was issued on September 7, 1963, at the Brazilian Embassy in Havana. The timing and location led some nervous CIA men to wonder if Castro was signaling his knowledge of a secret CIA meeting with a Cuban national (code name AM/LASH, later identified as Rolando Cubela) in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier that same day to discuss assassination plots.

In truth, there is paucity of evidence of any organization being behind the JFKA. Only speculation. A ton of work has gone into showing a CIA connection...and we still have only straws to grasp at.
Bill Harvey might have been seen on a plane headed for Dallas in 1963! Evidence! A fact pattern!
In fact, KGB and G-2 were involved with LHO. Does that mean they prompted LHO into the JFKA? That's speculative too.
Here is Morley:
Another Investigator Cites a Missing JFK Document. Why Now?
Six decades after JFK's death, opposing forces in Washington still battle for control of the story of his assassination.
JEFFERSON MORLEY
The CIA is sitting on a document showing that the Mexican government believed Fidel Castro was behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. So says Washington Post columnist David Ignatius in a column in which I am quoted.
Ignatius’ source, Washington attorney James Johnston, is credible. He investigated the CIA in 1975-76 for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities and has written a book on JFK’s assassination. He told Ignatius a story that he had never told before: that CIA officials showed him a classified document in 1975 asserting that “the Mexican government had investigated Kennedy’s assassination and concluded Cuba was responsible.”
According to a vetting slip that Johnston saw, the file “had only been read by five other people, one of whom was Richard Helms, who headed the CIA from 1966 to 1973.”
I believe Johnston when he says he saw such a document. He’s well-informed, has extensive investigative experience, and he’s an advocate of full disclosure. (Earlier this year, he told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” about another CIA document that seems to be missing.)
If there is such a document, the Agency should, of course, release it. As I told Ignatius, “I’m not aware that the CIA has released any such document.”
But, as I also told the Post columnist., there is no evidence that Mexican security officials ever implicated Cuba in JFK’s death, which is important context for this story.
Remember too, that the “Castro Done It” theory is a hardy perennial in the discourse around JFK’s assassination. To fully understand Ignatius’ column, it is essential to know the origins of “Castro Done It” theory, the paucity of credible evidence to support it, and (this is key) why it has resurfaced at this moment...[/size][/size]

Of course not.

Jeff Morley may be clean of Moscow connections.
Oliver Stone is a more dubious example.
