News Flash...Lee Harvey Oswald couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Check his USMC riflery records. And the Warren Commission did everything they could to try to find any evidence that he ever practiced. They failed.

Former sniper and author Criag Roberts wrote a book about how this was a tough shot for an expert with good equipment if shooting from that window. This was a crappy rifle with a misaligned scope and a lousy shot gets a head and neck shot in 7 seconds? He says it could'nt have happened. Add in that the last shot was a frangible bullet, not the hard-jacketed ammo Oswald supposedly used and Posner is another card-stacking propagandist for the Intel community which had big time egg on it's face for Dallas.

His book is only well-researched if you don't know the facts he conveniently left out or misrepresented. Just imagine Posner as Al Franken and Michael Moore stitched together and you know what I mean...

I have researched this subject for 15 years and helped organize a ground-breaking conference in 1993 that included medical experts from around the USA including a panel organized by the editor of the AMA. Posner had an agenda before he even began. If you want a well-researched book on these issues, you could read John Newman's "Oswald and the CIA". Newman is a double PhD who teaches at the University of Maryland. Before that, he retired from the Army as a Major and was an analyst for the DIA. His first book "JFK and Vietnam" was highly praised by all sides in this case for it's scholarship.

Posner has been shilling for the Intel apologists for years. He made his initial fealty plain in his early books on children of the Nazi Party and his book on Josef Mengele. He needed intel connections to write those books and now is their public mouthpiece. Now don't get me wrong, I support the agencies of US intelligence and what they need to do to protect us. THere are some, however, whose screw ups in the past need to be protected by rewriting history. We don't need revisionist history. It would be better had we gotten it right the first time. And getting it right is admitting that JFK was caught in a crossfire as his secret service agents in the vehicle stated in their Warren Commission testimony instead of hiring hack writers to cover for these people 35 years later when their incompetence in rooting out this protection screw-up is finally exposed.
