Like some sort of "smoking document" or whatever. Dream on. The investigative methodologies employed by those like James Richards, Dick Russell, Mae Brussel and Bill Turner as well as myself seem to produce the most accurate results. You have to talk with real people, and take their evidence with a very jaundiced eye and then put it together with others who can offer REAL first person evidentiary tidbits.
I am quite certain that Peter's suggestion was meant with the best of intentions and I know for a fact that his long research in these areas is worthy of the best of us.
I am also a fan of Prouty for all sorts of reasons. This thread is not the place to air these sorts of remarks, I think.
I feel we must all be very mindful of how we word our posts so as not to cause unwitting offense.
John: Perhaps no smoking gun per se, but many researchers have unearthed invaluable nuggets via the hundereds of thousands of documents released pursuant to the formation of the Assassinations Records Review Board (AARB). David Talbot and James Douglas found much to aid them in their respective books Brothers and JFK and The Unspeakable. James Bamford, (Body Of Secrets) uncovered the bombshell Operation Northwoods. So I must take issue with you regarding the JFK assassination documents. Perhaps we will never learn the identies of exactly who ordered the hit, but we can make some very educated guesses. More importantly, I believe, is to understand "why he died and why it matters". Douglas' work answers that question once and for all, imho.
Besides if there was nothing of value in the hidden records why lock them up for seventy five years to begin with?
