Vatican Assassins“ . . . I ran into Johnny Roselli in the yard at Terminal Island . . . He wasassociated with Al Capone . . . Paul Ricca, Tony Accardo, and SamGiancana . . . He became closely associated with studio moguls, unionchiefs, and stars . . . Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sponsored him formembership in exclusive clubs like Friar’s Club…Roselli [his CIAhandler being “Knight” David Atlee Phillips, a friend of “Dame” ClareBoothe Luce] had long been rumored to have been involved in the plotagainst Kennedy. Being linked to Sam made that seem almost logical.And knowing his background – that he was an accomplished marksman,one of the suspected gunmen at the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre – madethe long-standing rumor that he was involved in Dealey Plaza also seemplausible . . . Roselli’s linking [Jack] Ruby to Sam shocked me . . . Roselliwas also loose-lipped around the handful of Cubans who were doing time.Some of these people had been involved in the Bay of Pigs, were up totheir eyeballs in exile politics, and had been engaged in illegal anti-Castroactivities for years. They knew that Roselli, on hire to the CIA, had beeninvolved in several attempts on Castro’s life. They also seemed to knowthat Roselli had been a triggerman in the assassination — and theyregarded him as a hero because of that [and because of his incriminatingadmissions, his dismembered body was later found in 1976, packed in anoil drum floating in Miami’s Biscayne Bay] . . . There were all kinds ofquestions I obviously was curious about but did not ask him — about theparade route, for example. Why were the windows in the Texas SchoolBook Depository all opened at the time of the assassination? Why wasn’tthat storm drain on Elm Street sealed? He couldn’t have taken up hisposition without knowing something about the involvement of the SecretService, which was responsible for the routine securing of the area, suchas the sealing of the windows and storm drains. I already had far too muchknowledge, and I had no desire for more.” {6} [Emphasis added]Bill Bonanno, 1999American Ex-MafiosoBound by Honor“I don’t doubt the involvement [of the Mob] but at a lower level. Couldthe Mob change the parade route . . . or eliminate the protection for thePresident? Could the Mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back?Could the Mob get the FBI, the CIA and the Dallas Police to make a messof the investigation? Could the Mob get the Warren Commissionappointed to cover it up? Could the Mob wreck the autopsy? Could theMob influence the national media to go to sleep?
