A fellow on Greg Parker's board has posted a very long critique (see previous post on this forum) of the new John Armstrong article that I recently put upon my website at this address:
The critique is long on insults and sarcasm and short on facts, but it made me think about the original reason John wrote the new article.
He and I were talking on the phone about how some researchers have begun to think that the bus and taxi ride, as described by the Warren Commission, never happened. John said that he had always thought that the evidence was overwhelming that the jailed Oswald had previously ridden the bus and taxi, including Oswald's own statements about the bus, and then the bus and taxi, heard by numerous witnesses in police headquarters. John also felt that no one on the scene at Dallas police headquarters within hours of the assassination was in a position to put in motion such an elaborate plot to invent the bus and taxi scenario.
And so his real motivation in writing the new article was to examine the evidence for the bus and taxi ride. I must say, it is a weird feeling to be in the position of defending a Warren Commission conclusion, but on this one point, at least, I think they got it right, at least for the fellow eventually killed by Jack Ruby.
Some knowledgeable members of this forum have expressed skepticism about the bus and taxi ride. Has anyone had a change of mind after reading the new piece?
