It was always my understanding that McCone was put in yet the CIA was still run thru the old boy network established under Dulles.
That McCone was completely out of touch with what was actually happening within the upper ranks...
Besides, this yet again shits focus from the actual culprits of the domestic investigation and handling of evidence.
If the CIA did what it could to keep info out of circulation, they didn't share that with the SS or FBI whose handling of
the evidence is what became "history"... written by the winners. Was the FBI & SS so beholden to the CIA as to cover up their mistakes or "incriminating" info? (Yes - most likey in thename of fighting commies I'd think the FBI and SS could be convinced to do anything...
The following passage from a Redlich to Ranking memo on April 27, 1964
can be taken a number of ways depending on how you approach it...
At it's core is the implied and explicit acknowledgment that they were building a house of cards... "merely to substantiate the hypothesis" is quite an amazing way to put it
Most don't ever see these passages as they are among Eisenberg discussions of the Zfilm
We have not yet examined the assassination scene to determine
whether the assassin in fact could have shot the President prior to
frame 190. We could locate the position on the ground which
corresponds to this frame and it would then be our intent to establish
by photography that the assassin would have fired the first shot at the
President prior to this point. Our intention is not to establish the
point with complete accuracy, but merely to substantiate the
hypothesis which underlies the conclusions that Oswald was the sole
assassin.
I had always assumed that our final report would be
accompanied by a surveyor's diagram which would indicate the
approximate location of the three shots. We certainly cannot prepare
such a diagram without establishing that we are describing an
occurrence which is physically possible. Our failure to do this will,
in my opinion, place this Report in jeopardy since it is a certainty
that others will examine the Zapruder films and raise the same
questions which have been raised by our examination of the films. If
we do not attempt to answer these observable facts, others may answer
them with facts which challenge our most basic assumptions, or with
fanciful theories based on our unwillingness to test our assumptions
by the investigatory methods available to us.
I should add that the facts which we now have in our
possession, submitted to us in separate reports from the FBI and
Secret Service, are totally incorrect and, if left uncorrected, will
present a completely misleading picture.
It may well be that this project should be undertaken by the
FBI and Secret Service with our assistance instead of being done as a
staff project. The important thing is that the project be undertaken
expeditiously.
