Robert Aime Maheu (October 30, 1917 – August 4, 2008) was an American businessman and lawyer, who worked for the FBI, CIA and as the chief executive of Nevada operations[1] for the industrialist Howard Hughes.
[edit] Biography
Maheu was born in Waterville, Maine, and held degrees from Holy Cross and Georgetown University. During his law studies at Georgetown, he was hired into the FBI (1941), and worked as counter-intelligence officer in Europe during World War II. He left the FBI in 1947, becoming a self-employed business owner, consultant and investigator. His contract with the Hughes company started in 1955.[2]Maheu was a very close confidant to brothers President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.[3]Although Maheu was for years a close confident of Howard Hughes, he never met the man face-to-face, as they worked via memo and telephone. He was dismissed by Hughes in 1970 after losing a power struggle with Chester Davis and Bill Gay; in a resulting libel law suit, Maheu was paid $2.8 million.[4] As part of the struggle to get rid of Maheu, Hughes wrote a manuscript letter to Davis and Gay which was published in facsimile by Life in January 1971; this publication provided Clifford Irving with a sample of Hughes' handwriting which he later used to attempt to forge Hughes' autobiography.[5]
Maheu was implicated in the plot to assassinate the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in the early 1960s. At the request of the CIA, Maheu was to enlist the help of Mafiosi John Roselli and Salvatore Giancana, who both had connections in Cuba.[6][7] In testimony before the Church Committee, in 1975, Maheu told of his role, saying that he thought the United States "was involved in a just war."[8]
He died in 2008 at the age of 90 in Las Vegas. The cause was said to be heart failure.[9]

PART 2LEAVING NO RADIOACTIVE STONE UNTURNEDIona: How do these cover ups relate to US atomic policy?
STONE: Only a few years after Hiroshima, the US government began a series of atomic tests involving real military personnel and real or simulated/civilian situations! From the beginning it was clear these tests were disastrous, producing large amounts of radioactivity and significant exposures for humans.
Iona: Yes, it is public knowledge that both John Wayne and Susan Hayward died from cancers due to exposure incured during filming in the desert. Horses stirred up the contaminated soil, and they inhaled toxic amounts of radioactive dust.
Several Pacific Atolls were made uninhabitable for many years. Many years later some compensation was provided. However, the military and civilian exposures have been treated much less generously. By 1950 a series of ground tests started at the Desert Test Site near Las Vegas, Nevada. This became the first high tech facility known to be located in Southern Nevada.
We now know about Area 51 and Groom Lake. The atomic tests seem in retrospect to be of little value and were costly in human terms. A conservative estimate of 250,000 military personnel were exposed. Untold numbers of civilians and Downwinders also received significant fallout. Is estimated the total fallout from the Las Vegas tests to be at least 200 times Chernobyl. Many Nevada tests were ground bursts and had dirty designs. One series was appropriately named “Upshot-Knothole”.
The above ground tests lasted until the early 1960’s. A famous motion picture features the discovery that the training documents are an exact copy of those from 1950. The original US Government cover-up was carried out by the then Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Warren Burger.
He of course later was appointed the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. The Federal Courts have played a key role in these very dirty situations. In fact it is one of the largest and dirtiest in US Government history. Although in theory compensation was approved, it is not clear how many have received any significant compensation. There is substantial evidence of “cooking the books” by manipulating dose reconstruction. We will never know how many thyroid and other cancer were caused by airborne fallout. Ironically Warren Burger’s “Minnesota Twin”, current Chief Justice William Rehnquist, is dying of thyroid cancer.
