This story was broken at a JFK Lancer conference, if memory serves.
I've never been comfortable with what for a better word I term its "novelistic" aspects. Over the years I've been approached by a handful of people trying to peddle insider info. In at least two of those instances, the stories were the stuff of film treatments.
If it reads like a screenplay, it probably is.
How much was Vinson paid for his silence? Was it more than the price of two bullets?
Or did this really happen, and Vinson was left to tell the tale in order to add more complexity, doubt and friction to our erstwhile investigations?
After all, even if he's reporting actual events, how has his story brought us closer to truth and justice in this case?
