This is an interesting article (below). E. Howard Hunt was best known as the leader of Nixon's CIA "plumbers" -- the ones who were arrested breaking into the Watergate Hotel, which was the beginning of Nixon's downfall.

But there are also a number of pictures of Hunt at Dealy Plaza in Dallas in the moments after JFK was assassinated. In the 1960s, researchers were unable to identify him or the other men in the photos, and they were simply referred to as the "tramps". Witnesses claimed these men had shown Secret Service credentials and had confiscated cameras. But the Secret Service had no record of any of their agents confiscating any cameras, nor were the men in the photos Secret Service agents.

When Hunt became famous after the Watergate breakin, researchers quickly identified him in the photos, and he became a central figure of many JFK Conspiracy books written in the 1970s.

Here are a couple of the pictures taken in the moments after the assassination:





Hunt is the third guy near the rear wearing a hat. As can be seen from the second picture, these 3 men had apparently been arrested. But there are no records of them being arrested or even of their identities.

Here's the article, from yesterday's New York Post:

HUNT BLAMES JFK HIT ON LBJ

Apparently he wrote a new book.
