Weisberg was always careful not to "speculate" about who the conspirators were, but in his unpublished manuscript for Whitewash VI, he finally came pretty close:
"How can mature people consider what we have just seen and not wonder if there had been a military conspiracy to get rid of the President or a multi-faceted conspiracy that required the burning of those autopsy materials as soon as it was known that Oswald was killed and there would be no trial at which the autopsy materials would have to be produced and subjected to cross examination?"
"Aside from the grossest improprieties in taking over a medicolegal function required to be completely independent, especially when that is an inquest into how a President was assassinated, can this threatening, this ordering of what must be left out or altered, do other than feed conspiratorial belief about the involvement of the military in some kind of plot?"
"That a "red" was the assassin was automatically widely accepted, particularly by the major media during those days of the "cold war" that Kennedy was trying to end."
