200. Not so. CIA obstructed justice, failing to reveal their ties to Oswald, when asked by Earl Warren.

Ex-CIA director Allen Dulles, fired by JFK over the Bay of Pigs fiasco, somehow ended up on the Warren Commission. In his work, he explained to his fellow commissioners that a CIA agent could be expected to lie under oath to protect his status. Harold Weisberg documented the episode by using FOIA to access the WC secret session minutes.

So in the 1970s, when the House Select Committee on Assassinations were going through CIA assassination-related files, the agency stopped cooperating -- appointing one George Joannides to serve as liaison in place of an officer who had cooperated with the HSCA. They also failed to mention to the committee that Joannides, back in 1963, had served as their case officer monitoring the DRE, a violently anti-Castro Cuban terrorist organization that had a "confrontation" with "pro-Castro" Oswald in New Orleans.

It's worth knowing, in part, because the DRE's leaders were among those who reported to the press that Oswald, the assassin, was a defector to the USSR, linked to Castro and the communist cause.

Jefferson Morley, author and former Washington Post reporter, has followed the still-evolving story.
