I think. Fletch died before this identification came up, as I recall.
But Fletch DID SAY Conein was in DP, but misidentified him as
being on Elm Street. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF MY MEMORY IS WRONG.
I could be misrembering. If Prouty identified Mainman as Conein,
I would be absolutely convinced. Fletch knew him well!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
If my assignment were to counter efforts to expose, via discovery of photographic images, the presence of intelligence assets in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63, I would find and/or create false matches, encourage their discovery and endorsement by honorable, influential investigators, and then make certain that valid, quantifiable counter-claims were promoted.
The "Mainman" episode* stands as an example of just such an operation.
Given the rancorous public exchanges here and elsewhere among some of the most respected and important JFK assassination scholars regarding the identity of "Mainman," how do you think the discovery of actual views of the historic Conein would be received by the general public and within our own community?

* I ask again: Jack (and/or anyone else), can you offer comparisons of Shane O'Sullivan's views of a David Sanchez Morales candidate at the Ambassador Hotel and the Dealey Plaza figure identified as DSM? Do they depict the same individual?
I ask again: Can anyone post comparisons of the earliest known -- which is to say, pre-Conein ID -- copies of the "Mainman" photograph and the version from which the ID initially was made? Are they identical?
