John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[Jim Hargrove]

E. Howard Hunt told Cigar Aficionado that he was temporary Chief of Station in Mexico City during Oswald's "visit" in September 1963, while David Atlee Phillips was in charge of Cuban Operations there. Immediately after that, the double sightings in Dallas began in earnest as the patsy was being set up for the Kennedy hit. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if the largely failed spy plot Harvey and Lee had been involved in was shifted right then and there by Hunt and Phillips to the assassination of the president. No real proof, of course, but the timing is stunning.
