Anthony Thorne Wrote:Late at night so I can't do justice to the (very good) initial query, but I recall being deeply annoyed when reading a concluding page in one of the Doug Horne INSIDE THE AARB volumes - Horne brings in some typical 9/11 truther bashing and notes for the reader how (paraphrasing) 'most legitimate JFK researchers do not believe that 9/11 was an inside job, or that the towers were felled through controlled demolition'. And I sat there and ran through all the various key JFK researchers I could think of who had written books or who were well-respected, and big surprise, most of them - contrary to Horne's assertion - were outspoken believers in a 9/11 conspiracy.
As others have suggested, there is some distance to the JFK assassination, whereas 9/11 is still an ongoing event and many of the perps, their front companies and handlers are still making their presence known in the daily paper up to today.
Another point is that there have not been the number of investigations that there have been in the JFK assassination. After the WC I mean. Investigations that did not achieve the result we needed but fleshed it out more. Gaeton Fonzi's book for example, as a result of his time on HSCA. Then all the records released via ARRB. Resulting in many more books, increasing knowledge.
I have not read Horne and am disgusted that he wrote that.
