Arlen Specter Dead - Adele Edisen - 16-10-2012
Arlen Specter had a soul?
Did you know that he threatened to send Jean Hill to an insane asylum for her "crazy" testimony about hearing six or seven shots in Dealey Plaza when President Kennedy was killed?
He was an attorney interviewing her for the testimony she was about to give to the Warren Commission, and she did not back down!

Yes.
Still does. Still is.
God rest his soul.

The witnesses should have called their bluff and formed a JFK assassination witness group. They should have gotten lawyers and charged the government with intimidation and obstruction of justice.
Charles is right in the long-term. Part of their purpose is to get us into the permanent war mindset that justifies their methods.

RE
ost # 13In all fairness Mr Doyle, I have to wonder how many "Dealey Plaza Witnesses" had room in their budget to hire a lawyer and take on the U S Government. Based on my observance, it would be quite few, if any.

Well, if the current interest could have been applied back then they'd have no problem. I guess my point is they shouldn't have had to. These people were taken advantage of. The law would have helped them. Mark Lane was the only one with the balls to take them on and maybe Salandria.

Being in a position to lose employment income, then and now due to private life activities, is a very tight vise to be trapped in. As an attorney, Mr Lane didn't need balls, but working for $ 50 to $ 75 per week in those days was very common, although not enough to afford an attorney on your own. And, taking a chance on loosing employment would certainly tighten the vise. As I heard Merle Haggard say, this is a free country as long as you can pay for that freedom. Maybe a paraphrase, but the point is the same. I'm not trying to argue, but reality is what it is, and I have seen some Texas reality.

And it's a valid point too, and probably the reason they didn't do it. In hindsight, however, this group action would have been cheap compared to being covertly murdered by the conspirators as many American citizens were. Charles is right. Let's not lose sight that this is an evil and ugly war that requires equal redress.

After threatening Jean Hill with a Ralph Yates-type fate it's hard to argue against it isn't it?
Specter probably got pulled-in to WWIII virus patriotism. So in light of that he probably deserves an upper ring of Dante's Inferno where he has to carry water buckets down to the others. Buckets that are dry from the heat when he gets there.
