Probe Magazine of May-June, 1997 writes: "In a Wackenhut interview with Carlos Bringuier (5/9/67), Bringuier stated that Shaw's friend Alberto Fowler revealed that Garrison had "something big" and that "high persons" were involved in the assassination conspiracy. Fowler said Shaw felt confident because he knew that these "high persons" would have to defend him." [emphasis in original] DiEugenio also wrote in the same issue: "In the same Wackenhut report quoted above, it is revealed that Gordon Novel was a CIA agent and that Shaw was in the "Intelligence Services" of the armed forces." Let's have a closer look. Just who was Alberto Fowler? He was born in New Orleans and had worked in Cuba for his family in the 1950s. Fowler was a participant in the Bay of Pigs invasion and was captured by Cuban troops. He was freed in a prisoner exchange for food and medicine a year and a half later. Fowler became Director of International Relations for the City of New Orleans in 1965, and he knew Shaw through their respective work on international affairs.
