Also, I would like to comment on the ever expanding role of Dave Morales.
If one recalls, Morales first surfaced in Gaeton Fonzi's fine 1993 book, The Last Investigation.
There the clinching quote, through Morales' attorney Robert Walton, was this: "Well, we took care of that son of a bitch, didn't we?" (p. 390)
Please note this quote does not necessarily imply that Morales was part of the plot to kill President Kennedy, or that he even had first hand knowledge of it.
What it does imply is that Morales knew people who told him they were involved. But through time, through David Talbot's book Brothers and the documentary, RFK Must Die by Shane O'Sullivan, the quote has been embellished and expanded in both specificity and quantity. In its O'Sullivan version Walton quotes Morales thusly: "I was in Dallas when we got that mother fucker, and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard." [Emphasis added.]
Hmm. From Fonzi's version in 1993 and hearing about one assassination, now Morales is actually in on both of them. With the way things grow in the JFK case -- which is where Morales originated -- what will be next? How about: "I was in Memphis when we got that Black Messiah King!" (Quoting my review of RFK Must Die!)
Well, I missed. It's now Morales in MC. But still not too late to get him into Memphis.
