Barker was on the Grassy Knoll. He showed his fake Secret Service badge to Dallas Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman and Reporter Michael Canfield confirmed it when Weitzman was shown Barker's photo.
Anthony,
I too would like to see Barker's file, but I'm not entirely convinced that Weitzman's identification is a certainty. IIRC, Canfield showed Weitzman a photo of Barker that Weitzman identified as the person on the GK who showed him "Secret Service Credentials." Was Weitzman shown multiple photos and picked Barker as the GK Secret Service man? Was Weitzman aware that he was being shown a photo of a CIA employee?
At the time of the photo identification, Weitzman was being treated for "Paranoid Schizophrenia" at a VA hospital, but he did not suffer this affliction on 11/22/1963. I have a close family member with Paranoid Schizophrenia, and his memory of events *prior* to the onset of the illness is excellent. Also, it's certainly possible that this was another "mental illness" cover as used by Richard Nagel.
All things considered, to what degree can we accept this identification?
