The disappearance of the photographers' vehicle

[Gordon Gray]

If the planners of the assassination didn't take into account possible SS protection, then it was poorly planned. Given the evidence of careful planning in other aspects, that's hard to believe. It seems from reading Palamara, that Boring, Roberts, and Greer are prime suspects for involvement. It needed only to be Boring really, who was in charge of the motorcade security measures. He was in a position to order the changes in the motorcade route, the sequence of vehicles, the pull back of the motorcycle escort, and removing the agents from the back of the limo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that he had a prior relationship with Allen Dulles? Everyone else in the detail could have been unknowing, following orders, and guilty of incompetence, lax training, hangovers, and confusion. Roberts behavior that day, however, and his subsequent disingenuous testimony, is highly suspicious, and makes it difficult to believe he had no prior knowledge as an accomplice to Boring. Greer's failure to acknowledge the stop, and other aspects of the assassination that are clearly obvious from other sources, such as the presence of people on the overpass, the fact that he looked back twice, is suspicious, and the fact that if he had followed protocol the president's wounds would not likely have been mortal, make him suspicious, but this could also be explained by denial, given his incompetence and ultimate responsibility.
