(5,901 posts)That he denounced it, which I didn't know, proves it to me.
The assassination was directed by a triumvirate: LeMay, Dulles, Hoover" in other words JCOS, CIA, FBI. That's the best information available, and we know tons more than we've ever known before as information continues to be revealed from the AARB. This case won't rest until the truth is understood. I believe no other crappy little conspiracies, like the stuff driven by Alex Nutjob Whateverhisnameis to push the BFEE BS.
I also don't believe Bugliosi's book. He wastes a lot of pages saying nasty things about researchers of the Kennedy Assassination, when he did no research at all. There is about as much scholarship in Bugliosi's book as in Bill O'Reilly's, none. Bugsy used a brief for the prosecution from the BBC produced "Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald" in the 1980s. He used a lot of information from Failure Analysis which turned out to be failed information. And he just fleshed that out, and fleshed some more, and then claimed that everybody else is just in it for the money, or are crackpots, while he purposefully omitted exculpatory material that would disprove his prosecutorial brief, as any prosecutor would if he could get away with it. That's what his book's biggest failure was ... it wasn't even as fair and balanced as Fox News. It was one-sided and pathetically out of date with reality.
Cavalier deniers that the global coup-plotting CIA, a rabidly anti-Communist, nuclear bomb-loving military, and the psychopathic Kennedy-hater Hoover could have anything to do with overthowing a President. Read Arthur Krok's NYTimes column of October 3, 1963, that says outright that if the government is overthrown it be by an out of control CIA. Kennedy apparently fed that to Krok, and JFK also requested that films be made of Seven Days in May and Dr. Strangelove, which should give you a big hint.
