I doubt that he was, Gil. The FBI agents in the area already knew
about the camps. Robert Kennedy even knew McLaney. There were plenty
of anti-Castro folk that weren't quite as militant as the likes of
Banister, and those pu****ng the camps. I believe they are the ones
that spurred JFK to close the camps. And like Hoover the way he was,
'cooperated' by only closing one of the six, to thumb his nose.

Trouble is, a lot of folks down there were capable and probably doing
the setting up. It was a hub, Banister's office, CIA offices, the
DA's office.....but you do make your case. Walker didn't obviously
care for JFK and H.L Hunt didn't because of all the money he was going
to lose in oil profits....and it has been suggested that they both
might have gone down to Mexico City right after the JFK shooting to
possibly let thing's cool off.
