All valid points.  What's interesting to me is Nixon vs the CIA.  Nixon was always very in bed with the CIA and what's really interesting is after he resigned during Watergate he began working extremely closely with William Casey of the CIA.  Specifically on Contras etc and that entire bit with Oliver North and Gary Webb off into that entire tangent. How was Nixon so relevant to the CIA in the 1980s?  What was going on there? At bare minimal the crossroads of the 2 is fascinating because you can link from JFK to Nixon to William Casey to Barr.  Barr was very much involved with Iran Contra - which isn't brought up often.  Robert Johnson was his alias during all of that so maybe it's something a lot of researchers have missed ( that or I am misinformed )
