More incriminating stuff on Goodpasture:
This is not to say the plot was perfect. It wasn't. As Newman notes, the alleged Oswald tapes had to be made to disappear. Since it was not Oswald's voice on them, it threatened to expose the plot. Only the transcripts could be allowed to survive. But as CIA officer John Scelso noted in an internal memo, a copy of the October 1st intercept on Oswald had been discovered after the assassination.[SUP]187[/SUP] Shortly afterward, Scelso would be removed from his duties as liaison to the Warren Commission from the CIA. (He eventually retired early.) Richard Helms would replace him with James Angleton. Who, of course, knew exactly what to send the Commission about Oswald and what not to send. But the cover-up about the existence of the tapes after the assassination was put in place earlier by the trusty Goodpasture. On the afternoon of 11/23 she sent out a cable stating that a voice comparison between two of the alleged Oswald calls had not been made at the time of Oswald's visit because the tape of the 9/28 call had been erased before the tape of the 10/1 call was received.[SUP]188[/SUP] This is utter hogwash. As the Lopez Report establishes, the tapes were kept for ten days before being reused.[SUP]189[/SUP] And further, as Newman noted at a conference at Duquesne University in 2003, there was a voice comparison made and Goodpasture knew it. Further, it is preposterous to state that a tape would be recycled in a matter of 72 hours over a weekend.[SUP]190[/SUP] The disposal routine was never that fast, because it would not allow enough time for everything to be heard.
But Goodpasture then surpassed this first deception by sending out another cable on the 24th saying that all the tapes had been erased.[SUP]191[/SUP] How do we know this was a deception? Because Goodpasture, when challenged by Jeremy Gunn of the ARRB on this point, admitted that a tape dub had been sent to the Texas border on the night of the assassination. This was done through FBI agent Eldon Rudd, Hoover's attaché to the embassy.[SUP]192[/SUP] Rudd later became a Congressman. Apparently, aware of that he was caught up in, he vehemently opposed the creation of the HSCA and refused to testify before the Committee.
