Alex Cox takes out after Ron Rosenbaum and Errol Morris

[Jim DiEugenio]

Its incredible to me that either Morris or Tink left out the Latino appearing man from the discussion.

When, in fact, to me that is crucial.

I really wonder if Tink did leave him out or Morris did. One way to clear the air would be for Morris to show the whole long interview with Tink.

I mean Thompson has been a PI for decades. And somehow he missed the fact they were next to each other? Then sat next to each other after and it looks like the Latino had a radio in his hand and talked into it? And that is not important Tink?

I really hope that Tink did mention it and Morris cut it for the NY TImes.

But heck, Tink is the same guy who said Garrison was up a tree in 1967 because he said the assassination was a coup de'tat.

So maybe Tink bought Blakey also. Even though part of Blakey's agenda was to discredit the critics. And this fit that agenda perfectly.

I mean with Morris' help, and Tink's, the NY Times is still using it. I suppose its just a coincidence that the Times published Blakey's book.

Jim @ 21 It does indeed look like he as a radio but we don't see much of anything. Were radios that small in that day? Just asking.

In my view, it doesn't look that small. Especially when seen in his back pocket.

Anthony, there is a long and interesting story about Mahoney and that book which I will not go into here.

Suffice it to say, the man who wrote that book is not the same guy who wrote JFK:Ordeal in Africa.

If you read them both, you will see the difference.

But I agree with you, for the life of me I don't understand how Thompson can do what he is doing on that film without informing anyone of what he is leaving out.

But of course, I couldn't understand why he disagreed with Garrison when, in 1967, the DA said JFK's murder was a coup de'tat.
