Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisPost by John McAdamsPost by Robert HarrisAs I understand, you have had more than a little contact with Vincent
Bugliosi. I ask because I was rather amazed to see Mr. Bugliosi's
"rebuttal" of the notion that John Elrod overheard Oswald talking to FBI
people and identifying one of the perps involved in a weapons heist.
Actually, no. Bugliosi never contacted me.
And he never saw my web page, since he doesn't *do* web pages.
Apparently, people printed out pages from my site and sent them to
him.
It was interesting to see him cite "page 4" of an essay on my site,
since there was no "page 4" in the essay, just one long HTML page. So
it was in page 4 of the printout he had.
He must have liked the stuff, since he said some nice things about my
site.
Post by Robert HarrisIt seems that Mr. Bugliosi is totally ignorant of the details of the case,
and argued that Elrod wasn't even in the Dallas jail that day.
Bob, the evidence is overwhelming that Elrod was not in that cellblock
with Oswald.
Bullshit - the test of whether he was in a cellblock with Oswald is not
about denials by a handful of cops who never saw the two men at the time.
All the reports from Nov. 22 were that Osweald was buy himself in that
cellblock.
This is cops, this is media (who could not have known they were
supposed to lie), this is police officials.
NO members of media were able to track Oswald's whereabouts on the
afternoon of 11/22/63..
You are claiming that a police dept was infallible, whom you have
described on numerous occasions, as virtually incompetent, and who we
KNOW, falsely claimed that Oswald was never put in a cell until after
midnight.
We already KNOW they were wrong about when Oswald was placed in that cell.
The only controversy is about HOW WRONG they were.
Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisIt is about who Elrod overheard.
Since he wasn't in the cellblock, that doesn't matter.
Of course it matters.
Elrod overheard that informant, whom we know was real, because the FBI had
to confirm his existence in court, but refused to reveal his identity.
This is a documented FACT, which trumps the opinion of a few cops, who
obviously did not know when Oswald was placed in that cell. If they had,
they would not have made the false claim that he was placed there after
midnight.
You tell me .john. Was that an honest mistake, or did they deliberately
lie?
Either way, why in hell, should we accept their second, "Well then, would
you believe...." story??
Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisPost by John McAdamsPost by Robert HarrisMy question is, didn't you ever contact him to explain that the FBI went
to great lengths to prevent the name of the informant involved in that
case, to be disclosed, even to the judge??
What case?
The case which was the basis for the entire book that you tried so
desperately to refute.
Why are you pretending to be ignorant of that?
I barely remember any of these silly LaFontaine factoids.
Nonsense, that was your life for a very long time.
Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisPost by John McAdamsOh, you mean the silly "case" involving "gun running" that had nothing
to do with the Kennedy assassination?
It had everything to do with whether Oswald was an informant for the FBI.
He wasn't.
Didn't Harvard give classes in critical thinking?
Did they teach nothing about making absolute claims without a shred of
evidence to back them up?
Not only are you basing your entire case on "witnesses", which you claim
is a worthless commodity anyway, from an agency that you have frequently
dissed, but you are trusting witnesses who already gave false information
on the very question that is on the table.
How weak does your case have to get before you admit the truth, john?
Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisIf the FBI was truthful, then Elrod overheard an ATF agent that day. But
the AFT confirmed that it was NOT true, and it makes no sense that one of
them would have been in that cell.
Why are you ignoring this issue?
Why don't you care about what the one federal agency said, who had not
been proven to have lied about Oswald and Elrod??
Post by John McAdamsPost by robert harrisAn honest man would have been EAGER to resolve that question. So why did
you clam up, after I posted about that issue?
We discussed this at huge length years ago.
Bullshit!
Show me a relevant posting that you think resolved this question.
Post by John McAdamsIt was resolved. The LaFontaines were wrong. They produced a silly
book all based on the testimony of Elrod.
Signature mcadams - zero content, zero analysis, and massive evasion.
You are STILL evading this issue. Why do you have to substitute these
endless assertions that you cannot support to save your life??

That article is shameful, john.
