Howard Hunt on the "Big Event" (Dallas Nov. 22, 1963)

Saint John Hunt said that shortly before his death, his father had felt "deeply conflicted and deeply remorseful" that he didn't blow the whistle on the plot at the time and prevent the assassination, but that everyone in the government hated Kennedy and wanted him gone in one way or another. Kennedy's promise to "shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter the remnants to the wind" was being carried out and this infuriated almost everyone at the agency.

Hunt puts LBJ behind the assassination. He says he had "an almost maniacal urge to become president." He also implicates Cord Meyer, David Atlee Phillips and David Morales. The recording was made in January 2004 and Hunt is obviously coherent and rational.
