Forgive me if I'm hopelessly behind the curve, but there's a contradiction I've never been able to resolve:
Warren was recruited/blackmailed by LBJ on the basis that Cuba and/or USSR was implicated in the assassination, and this, if revealed, would lead to WW3. Very well. But along the road, he must have become aware that the "communist" connection was bogus and a conspiracy, if any, was domestic (right-wing) in origin. Yet he continued the coverup with the same enthusiasm as when he believed (if he ever did) that nuclear war with the USSR would result from exposing the truth.
IOW, once he realized that WW3 was "off the table", why did he continue to insist that "nothing new" was uncovered by any of the "critics" and the WC findings stood?
I understand of course, that ego would not have permitted him to say publicly, "Yeah, we screwed the pooch on Kennedy. The case should be re-opened; there's lots of evidence of a domestic conspiracy and even treason within our own country."
I also understand that realizing this, he would be horrified at the idea of revealing to the American public that such monstrous disloyalty and institutional corruption exists. The "constitutional republic" myth would have been ripped away, and when push comes to shove, power is loyal to power above all.
Still and all, you'd think he might have leaked a few hints..........
