My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

[Charles Drago]

So, for starters, what is the evidence - beyond some hunting stories from Tippit's father - that he was a top class marksman?

Those tasked with organising the military style execution of an American President would surely have recruited world class snipers for a one time only job.

Sound reasoning, Jan, reflecting mastery of the study of deep politics.

By no stretch of the imagination can pointing out that Mr. McBride's Tippit-as-Badge-Man argument is uninformed by serious study and understanding of deep politics -- as I have done so often in the past -- reasonably be construed as an "attack" on Mr. McBride.

So with all this in mind, is it not fair to hold suspect the balance of Mr. McBride's book and its author's deep politics-related conclusions proffered therein?

Let me be clear: In this case, "to hold suspect" is not to dismiss, but rather to approach with intensified wariness, including the leveling of a keen eye on sub-text.

Such has been my point from Day One regarding Into the Nightmare.

Is Mr. McBride's Tippit-as-Badge-Man fiasco (my conclusion) an aberration within an otherwise soundly reasoned volume? An exemplar of the majority of his published conclusions?

Draw your own conclusion.
