No I don't.
I say "Major Lopez" from the Pakse Base photo more closely resembles Lamp Post Man than does any photo of DSM with which I'm familiar.
But I'll go the extra mile: I see not the slightest resemblance whatsoever between Lamp Post Man and DSM photos.
James H. Fetzer Wrote:I just don't get all these arguments about why they shouldn't be there when it is apparent that they were there. The improbability of this many matches of persons who are clearly together at the same location and time makes it virtually certain that they were there.
Jim, I continue to be less than clear. Permit me to try again.
It is NOT apparent to me that they are there. Based solely on image evaluation, the Old Tramp could be Hunt, not so much Holt; Main Man could be Conein and can't be Adams. The Lansdale-from-the-back figure: anybody's guess. Milteer could be the geezer in Dealey Plaza. Robertson as "Robertson" -- maybe, maybe not. Lamp Post Man as DSM -- almost certainly not.
In my opinion!
The funny thing about all of our back-and-forth messages is that you and I never have been less than all but in lock-step on most important points regarding the murder of JFK.
Here's the core of my difficulty with your certainty that "they were there:" Such an unwarranted (in my considered opinion) leap of faith endangers our greater work.
We don't need to see these bastards in Dealey Plaza to be reasonably certain that the National Security State executed the order to execute John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The characters you see and I don't are, in Hollywood parlance and in terms of our greater work, dress extras.

OF COURSE they recognized the risk. Why else devise and implement so elaborate and long-lasting a cover-up?

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
