As a resident of Minnesota, I have followed closely the speeches and appearances of Judge Tunheim over the years. The refrain of his talks is that the goal of the ARRB was merely to open the government files without evaluating them. He also is quick to assert that there exists no "smoking gun" from the enormous repository of information unearthed by his committee. More recently, however, he has adopted the stance of another government authority figure reiterating the original findings of the Warren Report. For example, Tunheim recently suggested to a gathering in Stillwater, Minnesota, that, despite new evidence available to the ARRB, Lee Harvey Oswald was a genuine defector and malcontent, apparently driven to killing the president to etch his name in history!
When the local television station recently aired a segment and published the short piece posted above by Bernice, I contacted KSTP (Channel 5) news reporter Steve Tellier, offering to provide a rebuttal. I sent Steve a link to my article on Tunheim (listed below) and invited him to attend a four-part lecture series on the JFK assassination that I will be offering here in the Twin Cities to coincide with the 50th Anniversary.
I never received a reply from the reporter.
In my article, I conclude the following: "As a federal judge, John R. Tunheim has the power and arguably the obligation to inform the American public of the implications of the release of sixty million documents about the murder of JFK. But to listen to Judge Tunheim is to believe that all of the work of the ARRB amounted to no more than an enormous blank in the evidentiary trail of the death of President Kennedy."
