Jim Garrison warts and all, was a true hero. I always liked Ogelsby's summation of Garrison as well (I'll try and find one of them at least). One of the coolest things about Garrison was he was always canny about where and how he went wrong. He held no bitter feelings towards the likes of Weisberg, he often stated he had been naive with sources and made crucial errors with regards to advice and staff. However, if we put his bloopers in context, hell, how many would any of us made at that time? He didn't have the benefit of hindsight like we do now.
Thus he unearthed some extremely important stuff, more important than anything any of his detractors had against him (at least from the LN side). When we consider how many public officials were playing pussy at the time. Garrison soars above them all. I think it is a good idea Charles and yes, while I struggle with Mellen's use of sources at times. I think her sentiments (of which you used) are bang on the money.
