JFK conspiracy: a development

If you are reading this, you probably know I have a thing for conspiracy theories... I came across this Rolling Stone article today about ex-CIA agent and Watergate "plumber" E. Howard Hunt. From his deathbed he told his son that Lyndon Johnson was behind the assasination:
Saint had been working toward this moment for a long while, and now it was going to happen. He got his father an A&W diet root beer, then sat down in the old man's wheelchair and waited.

E. Howard scribbled the initials "LBJ," standing for Kennedy's ambitious vice president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ," connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that's never been solved. Next his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, yet another CIA man and a well-known, particularly vicious black-op specialist. And then his father connected to Morales' name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll."
Could it be true? Maybe. Hopefully, someday, the truth will come out.
In the meantime, there are other theories, some compelling, to amuse myself with...
