Helms, then Deputy CIA Director, and other CIA witnesses, even though under oath, covered up the fact that they had initiated and failed in a number of attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro which since became public knowledge. There may well have been other CIA motivations for misleading the commission. The fact that they did, as well as the FBI which also was not truthful with the commission, has led credence to all the wild conspiracy theories that people have come up with about the assassination.
