In all this discussion, too much is being made of the Adams allegation.
The main point is that on 11-22-63, the Dealey Plaza area appears
to have been filled with a half dozen doppelgangers or lookalikes for
CIA operatives...not to mention the unexplained presence of military
intelligence operatives like James Powell.
I respect Allan's position that Adams is the man in Altgens. I respect
Jim's agreement with me that the man appears to be Conein or a
lookalike. But whether it is Adams or Conein is irrelevant to all the
other lookalikes being there. James Richards has produced comparisons
showing many. Fletch Prouty identified Lansdale. Lansdale and Conein,
according to Prouty, were co-workers on covert actions. If Lansdale
was there, why not Conein also. And what about all the others. It is
no more likely that lookalikes were there than the real people.
So let's suppose that the man WAS Adams...that does not answer any
question about all the others.
I suspect that the Adams story came up recently ONLY because someone
was worried that photos showed a high level CIA official grinning as
JFK headed for the kill zone. I suspect that ex post facto "evidence" may
have been concocted to say that Adams was there, not Conein. Pardon
my suspicions; I am suspicious of ANY "evidence" that surfaces 40 years
AFTER the crime, expecially if it exculpates one of the suspects.
To be convincing, the Adams identification must have contemporaneous
proof, not tardy "evidence 40+ years later.
