True. But it should not make us give up any further research from the start, because this process of search for the truth is valuable.

Reading my post again, and Christoph's response, I now realize I left out some key things-I think the JFK assassination is of tremendous importance still today, and that we should do everythingwe can to get to the truth and put pressure on our government to reopen the investigation.My point was that we know enough about the goings on at Dealey Plaza to move up the ladder of responsibility in the hopes of reaches the top rung. I also like the idea of starting at a perceived top ('the very top of US government,' which means different things to different people, I know) and working down, and seeing how well the two ends line up- and I think they line up exceedingly well. Time spent on who was standing where and who did what when reaches a point of diminishing returns and takes resources away from 'higher' pursuits. I certainly don't mean to diminish the work that Wim has done regarding James Files- it is extraordinary. But let's put the heat on the bastards who ordered it (and the entities they represent).

Again, sorry for all the typos (you'd never know I publish a newspaper...)

Thanks Pasquale. I'm working on a schematic of the assassination, and I'm looking forward to your input and feedback.And everyone else's too.

did anyone see the movie watchmen? they did a re-enactment in dealey plaza showing the head shot and one of the super heroes was behind the picket fence with a rifle. they did a nice job of setting up the scene to look like the zapruder film.

Yeah, I wanna see it too. I saw the the movie "The International" about a banking system involved in assassination, and arms dealing. In the assassination of an Italian leader, there were 2 shooters. Interesting and good movie.

My take on Files is that he knows too much of some things and is rather uninformed of the bigger picture. He seems to lack curiosity and is probably not a particularly sophisticated criminal but possesses ample skills to do what was asked of him. I also feel he would have been tripped up in a multitude of ways regarding his story. And I know to some extent he has. But not enough to be a phony. We know more has come forth since his earliest interviews and he still knows more than he is telling. Still holding back. I don't see him as a habitual liar the way he rattles off info during his interviews and I can't see him having much creativity or imagination that would be required to fabricate such a story. Has he misled? I would say yes. But his story has too many pieces of the puzzle in place. What stumps me is how is he still alive? Especially in Stateville. Can you say survival skills?
