(5,901 posts)Especially his avowal that Jack Ruby had nothing to do with organized crime. That's laughable. I went to a Bugliosi lecture after his book came out and he was amazingly ignorant IMO. A lot of pages do not connote the truth!
Bugliosi was cast on the "Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald" TV show back in the 80's and he presented the case for the prosecution. That's exactly what he did with his book. It's nothing more than an extremely padded prosecutorial brief, with no balancing facts or questions. Missed are witnesses on Elm Street on 11-22-63 who gave eyewitness accounts and sworn testimony about seeing other gunmen, seeing the puff of smoke, and NONE were called to testify before the Warren Commission. The WC Report states that no one they interviewed had seen or heard anything from the Grassy Knoll. That's what you call plausible denial.
Bugliosi was writing that book for 25 years and the result was a mish-mash of BS with some truth thrown in for grins. He didn't rebut the serious research, but picked a few cockamamie theories that no serious researcher believes and argued those straw men. It's a dishonest book.
