Mark Lane's half-century summation does not warrant seven thousand words of nitpickingBuy the book, read it, and get on with the fight.
The introductory disclaimer is patronizing: "a little disappointing" "little that is really new" "awkwardly written" "poorly edited" "numerous typographical errors" "no index" "poorly sourced"and succeeds in missing the point entirely.
At eighty-four I see it as Lane's equivalent to Harold Weisberg's Case Open, passionate, a passing of the torch, an urging to not go gentle into that good night.
I "Mark lane (s/b cap) is, after all, the man Warren Commission apologists love to hate(,) and with the exception of the late(,) great Jim Garrison, no ©ommission critic has suffered as many baseless personal attacks."
II "somewhat egocentric"Same could be said of Fonzi, Last Investigation, but that's a plus, in both casesit's why we grab the book and don't want to put it down.
III Lane was right: Oswald was not in Mexico City. Hay presumes to know what LBJ believednot possible, not plausible. Hay takes Lane to task for insisting CIA entirely responsible, should've looked at Phillips' manipulating Cuban enmityoh come now: the Bay of Pigs contrivance put "traitor" on the lips of everyone involved, Cuban, American, exile, military, the full catastrophe.
IV Hay cites what Posner said Lopez said re Laneunpack that for the TSA. It's explosive. I wouldn't believe Posner if were defending the late Karzai from attacks he was a CIA tool and a drug lord.
V "Although I make no claim to be expert in legal matters"quite right, let's just leave it at that, shall we.
The CTKA review is the cross to exorcise the likes of a Bugliosiwe await the publication of the ten-part opus.
As for the Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK, it does what it says, and goes where it should.
If I want one hundred pages of end notes, I'll reopen my Douglass and lament there weren't another hundred, so good was the author at that.
But we're indicting here.
Ye gods and little fishes, we have a national security state whose sword and shield was forged in 1947 and 1949 from steel in use during WW II, which didn't stop with six shooters putting more lead in JFK's head than a Prius battery, but went on and on and on to knock down towers with people in them to invade countries on false pretext, to harvest the heroin for the world's habit and arm the narcogangs in our own backyard.
Let the experienced lawyer finish his final summation.
The prosecution rests.
God speed Mark Lane's personalized mission for justice.
