Jim DiEugenio Wrote:To use one example: Vince pummeled Doug Horne on his two brain memorandum. But he never told his readers about 1.) Stringer's denial of the brain phtographs, and 2.) Humes' saying that there was no upwards trial of particles in the extant head x rays as he wrote about in his report. And that is just dishonest since its apparent he read both ARRB depositions.
I read Bugliosi's chapter on the brain. It is nothing but a superficial dancing around the facts in order to avoid all the incriminating evidence. It is a diversion that occupies the reader in unrelated material in order to make it look like Bugliosi has covered the subject. Meanwhile he makes no effort to analyze how the Commission trapped itself by producing an impossibly intact 1500 gram brain that then went through several alterations before it ended up being lost. Bugliosi makes no attempt to account for the photographic record of this intact brain that then disappeared or the protests of the FBI witnesses who said it could not be the same brain. Vinny had to be aware of all this so it can be accurately said that he avoided it deliberately in order to mislead his readers.
Bugliosi was a willing pro-government hired gun who would loan his services to spin things in favor of the government position. He was the favorite guest of media programs offering government propaganda on the assassination.
