Anyone want to discuss HARVEY & LEE?

[Drew Phipps]

Craig was brave to speak out against the official story, to be sure. He co-wrote (?) a book. He went on TV. For what it's worth, he seems sincere. No doubt the pressure put on him by the Powers That Be (probably the DCSO, not the DPD) to conform, would have put a great deal of strain on him. But that didn't seem to affect his ability to publish, or be interviewed on TV.

Being a police officer is a dangerous business. They risk their lives on a day to day basis for me, and for you, and for everyone else, and we rarely even know their names, until they make a mistake. There is a rather high occupational rate of alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and suicide. There are other behaviors as well that become problematic for people who occasionally learn to see themselves as "above the law." I have a high respect for police officers, and they deserve it; although that doesn't mean that they don't make mistakes, which I see happen on a regular basis.

As a last note, it would be perhaps significant for that same photographer to be in those key places on that day, but you can see the large number of people that gather in Dealy Plaza (and take pictures, and pick up bullets, and skull fragments...), and then of course there is the rather rapidly-forming mob outside the Texas Theater while Oswald is subdued. So perhaps there is nothing sinister about a photographer heading to where the action is. I would suppose if Reed was "assigned" to cover Oswald's escape route he would have snapped a shot of him leaving the TSBD (which picture would then have great evidentiary value).

I would have enjoyed John finding out how Reed managed to get around to take those shots... car, bus, taxi... magical CIA teleport pad...? Or how the angry mob made it to the theatre in time?
