He certainly was not shy about using the CIA to overthrow foreign governments (Cuba, Iraq, and Vietnam just off the top of my head). That certainly seems hawkish to me. I guess in the context of early Cold War mania he might not seem like a hawk when compared to someone like General LeMay or the CIA's James Angleton, who wanted preemptive war with the Soviet Union while the US still held an overwhelming military advantage. But in the modern context, how could he be anything other than a hawk?
