Your# 5.......

Posner was on the History Channel today debating David Lifton and Mark Lane and he blew them out of the water. Eventually, he showed that Lifton is a kook---and that for anyone to accept L.'s ideas, you had to discount ALL physical evidence as "fradulent" or "forged," and then he turned Lifton's own evidence against Lane and said that even Lifton held out the possibility of a shooter from behind.

I've invited Lifton to the university campus twice in 10 years---very popular---and when you get him alone, his notions just collapse because he claims all the audiotapes were doctored, the Zapruder film was doctored, and, of course, all autopsy photos and x-rays were frauds. I admit he has some fascinating evidence on changes between Dallas and Bethesda on the body (which, to my mind, Posner did an unsatisfying job of explaining or refuting) but once you get past that, his ideas totally collapse. Oh, and for all those who saw "smoke" on the grassy knoll. Funny, my ammunition is smokeless. Guess those Corsican/Mafia/Vietnamese/Cuban/LBJ hitmen weren't smart enough to use smokeless ammo.

Are you going to write a book?

HAHA. Already have, though not on this subject. Go to Amazon and do a search under "Schweikart."

I have, however, written a new book that deals with the press's failure to cover the assassination properly because of its ties to the JFK administration, leaving it to people like Lifton to uncover the "interesting" stuff. No conspiracy, but all this was avoidable if the news media had just done its job.
