As I have often said, the Warren Commission is an example in extremis of what happens to someone when the adversarial process is abandoned, and the prosecutor has no limits placed upon him by anyone, and there are absolutely no ethical or moral strictures obeyed in the effort to convict the defendant. As Chris Sharrett once said, the Nazis at Nuremburg got more of a defense than Oswald did. Which says all one needs to know about the Commission.
But even for the WC, Mexico City was really out there. I mean, as I said in the first article, the Coleman-Slawson "inquiry" was not even a cursory view of what happened. And since neither of those men were there for any length of time, nor did they view the cable traffic back and forth, they never really had the foggiest idea of what the heck was happening.
As I also noted, another thing that is surprising is that the first generation of critics actually seemed to accept the WC version of what happened. Even though there are many things in the Commission volumes which the FBI put together which raise some serious questions. It was not until Garrison that anyone really began to wonder what the heck really went on down there. And I think Garrison was the first guy to suspect an imposter.
But its pretty clear today that the WC was, as they say, cracking walnuts with their butt cheeks about Mexico City. Its really an outrage what they let the CIA get away with down there. I mean to write about the incident and to never mention the names of Anne Goodpasture, or David Phillips, to name just two, I mean that is just outrageous.
And to think, Phillips' name is not in the entire 26 volumes as far as I know. And to point out just one thing: he was running the CIA anti FPCC program along with McCord!
Every single aspect of what happened in Mexico City is suspect today. Including whether or not Oswald was there.
