I was not involved, but speculate and ask those who were if Jay might not have been afraid that mention of Nathan's name would place him more in danger than in the path of pesky researchers, etc.? Many strange deaths, and events to scare off others, have happened along the 'way' on the JFK matter!
Yes I believe that fear was more emphasized in Jay's mind. I was surprised that he posed with his group at the press conference, however, it was with the understanding we would not release the picture. I was even more surprised when he agreed to be on camera for the documentary He may have been influenced by Nathan's decision to expose himself.
I was expressing my own beliefs in my former statement. Too many times, the more amateur researchers would bother witnesses. I was told this by multiple people. Everyone was trying to solve the crime of the century by any means possible and gain their minute of fame.
I was in the public's eye for many years as a conspiracy believer. When we opened the museum, NYT did a half page article and CNN put an hourly segment on their 24 cycle. Shortly after that I had the building scanned for electronic bugs and discovered the phone lines were tapped. A telephone company employee verified that it was a government tap. For the rest of time, we scanned monthly and I used a special line through another company for confidential phone calls. The museum lines were tapped for the entire time we were open.
WOW you got MSM coverage. And government taps. Now why would they do that? ::trenchcoatspy::
