Its pretty clear that Fletcher knew it was fictional.
But there were real attempts by Kennedy to explore the limits of disarmament. These are mentioned in the Martin Schotz book. And this may be what Prouty is referring to.
I agree that Fletcher has been attacked unfairly by the other side. This began with Anson's hit piece in Esquire in which, Stone's chief researcher Jane Rusconi, gave him a lot of material with which to 1.) go after Stone and his sources, and 2.) specifically target Fletcher. Anson then used this to further smear him with that charge that he was published in "girlie" magazines. Like the NY Times was going to print his essays. Recall, Anson also peddled that BS about Garrison and the Mob. (Which I think at one time, Rusconi actually took seriously.) Anson closed his hit piece with a naked lie, that somehow Oliver was backing away from Garrison and Prouty. Which he never did. Anson then went to the first ASK Conference with Rusconi, and he did a hit piece on it. This was his swan song in the JFK field. Which is one reason why I repeatedly attacked him in my first book.
Then came Chip Berlet, Mr. Anti Conspiracy, who used to hang out in Angleton's circles. He went after Fletcher for publishing in Freedom and Barnes Review. You know, the anti Semite smear.
The came Dave Perry and John McAdams, and the Christchurch Star episode. They have used this to discredit both Fletcher and Stone's film. I think these should be countered with specific information. Seamus can supply bullet points for the last.
See, when I was specializing in Garrison, many years ago, I collected all the Mob smears and ran them down. I discovered each one was BS sorted out and spread by his enemies. Me and Bill Davy then demolished them: me in public at COPA and him in his book. The same thing could and should be done with Fletcher.
