7. a reminder for the kiddies
Comes from Bartcop in an e-mail to Bart. It's on the front page at the moment, but he archives in kind of an odd way, and I probably won't be fixing the link):

Hunt was one of the 3 so-called hobos caught fleeing the scene of the JFK assassination on 11-22-63.
One of the other hobos was Frank Sturgis. These two are clearly identified in Coup D’E’tat in America
a book by Alan Weberman and Michael Canfield. They use transparent overlays of Hunt and Sturgis over
photos of the hobos so you can see for yourself. Their heights, noses, ears and faces exactly match.
(Hunt had his ears surgically altered after the assassination) The added chapter in the 2nd edition,
published in 1992, debunks the claimed ID of 3 other individuals from alleged arrest records that,
while lost for almost 30 years were just “discovered.”

Weberman and Canfield’s claims were published by Liberty Lobby in The Spotlight in 1978.
E. Howard Hunt filed a defamation suit against Liberty Lobby. Mark Lane defended Liberty Lobby
and wrote about it in his excellent book Plausible Denial, published in 1991. Liberty Lobby’s defense
was based on the truth of the accusations. Eventually, Hunt offered to settle for $1.00.

Instead, the defendants took it to trial and won a unanimous jury verdict that the accusations were true.
During the trial, Hunt offered up several conflicting alibis that were disproved, one after another.

Hunt and Sturgis were convicted of breaking into the Watergate for Richard Nixon.
Another Watergate convict, Bernard Barker, was also placed on the scene of the JFK assassination
on 11-22-63 by several eye witnesses.
