Now that I've actually read Janney I find Jim's criticisms somewhat lacking. There's much more to this than Lisa's criticisms allowed.
If you do the math, even with Janney's addition errors, he's still within the correct numbers to preclude Crump's being the man in the bushes. This is a bizarre case and I admit there were points in the book where Janney had my Fetzer bullshit meter pegging, however he still has supporting converging evidence that backs his claims. There's no doubt Wistar Janney was faking lack of knowledge of Mary's murder. I'm afraid I have to go with Janney on all counts in regard to the suspicious activities involved with the finding out about the murder and false stories about trying to find the diary. It seems Janney has a good circumstantial case that the Truitts were like the Paines in their supportive complicity with Angleton and Bradlee. It just doesn't seem likely that with Mary's antipathy and fear of Angleton's CIA connection to JFK's murder that she would appoint Angleton to be her book burner. Janney's right, all said and done 1) It isn't likely that known diarist Mary Meyer would not have a separate diary for her deepest thoughts. A diary witnessed by (I think it was) Toni Bradlee as being a known entity she knew Mary always kept on the bookshelf. 2) Angleton's concern with Scott's dangerous papers and Mary's diary fit an exact modus operandi.
I think Leary is credible in this instance. If you backtrack from Mary's known LSD experiment group you have credible reason to believe Leary's story is true. Anne Chamberlin shut her mouth probably because Damore was driven to suicide. There are people like Ken Noland and the Truitts that could corroborate this LSD stuff but probably kept their mouths shut after people starting dropping dead like Mary. I'm afraid the peripheral evidence Lisa omits strongly backs Janney.
