President Johnson, who learned about CIA plots against Castro from the FBI, of all places, he was convinced the Dallas assassination resulted from Castro's belief that President Kennedy was out to get him. That according to Joseph Califano, Mr. Johnson's Chief-of-Staff.

The Castro reprisal idea may or may not hold water. But what the CIA's being criticized for is withholding information to protect itself that could have helped the investigation.
