TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Sunday, November 16, 2003

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2003 11 16:

[Sen. Areln Specter] Specter, now the state's senior U.S. senator, went on to work with the Warren Commission's investigation of the assassination, and wrote the famous or, depending on one's perspective, infamous "single-bullet theory" that supported the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald alone killed Kennedy.

Allegheny County coroner . . .[Cyril] Wecht characterized the Warren Report as "absolute nonsense" and Specter's single-bullet assertion "an asinine, pseudoscientific sham at best."
[...]
Wecht became one of the best known critics of the Warren Commission, arguing that the government twisted evidence to pin the assassination on Oswald because the truth of what occurred would be too much for the American public to take. Wecht speculates that "truth" is that rogue elements of the CIA had the Mafia kill Kennedy.

TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: Wecht nails Specter, alright, but he himself really needs to take into account the latest research. Wecht made his case on available evidence from the Bethesda autopsy and the Zapruder film. Increasing evidence emergencves that both of those reports were heavily doctored. Wecht is reluctant to admit this, as he made his bones on this body of information. Besides which, he retains political power in Pennsylvania himself, and it is not in the political creature's interest to admit how routinely government documentation can be altered.
