Une passionnante enquête par le seul procureur a avoir fait un procès en rapport avec l'attentat contre Kennedy. Beaucoup plus crédible de le film FJK. Ici on ne sous entend pas du tout que les coupables font partie du milieu homosexuel, ni d'un vaste complot... Juste de gens qui n'ont pas intérêt à ce que le scandale éclate et ferment les yeux malgré certains avertissement. Beaucoup moins alarmiste que le film (pas de mise sur écoute du bureau du procureur) on tente toutefois avec beaucoup d'énergie de discrédité ce procureur trop populaire plusieurs fois réélue à la Nouvelle Orléans... Pour vous faire une idée, il faut le lire... Mais en anglais....

Oswald"s assgnement at Japan's Atsugi Air Base in 1957, before he came to El Toro was consistent with the possibility that he had been working in military intelligence. Atsugy, I discovered, was the base for all the daily super-secret U-2 intelligence lights over China.Oswald's anti-arcraft unit, wich required a highly classified security clearance, had the duty of guarding a U-2 hangar. It was surrounded by a high, heavily wired fence.[...] I thought Oswald's possible intelligence role at Asugi might be confirmed by two Central Intelligeence Agency document mentioned in the Waren Commission

Billy Lovelady, an employee of the Book Depository who was having lunch on tis front steps, recollected the shots as having come from "right there around that concrete little deal on that knoll... between the indergrass and the building right on that knoll."
Abraham Zapruder, who became famous for the home movie he took of the shooting, was standing on a cement slab by the grassy knoll with his back to the picker fence. He describe the police officers running past him, headed behind the knoll area. As to where the shootig came from, he added; "Ialso thought it came from back of me."

However, according to the Waren Commission report, all of the Secret Service agents assigned to the parade had gone along with it en route to the hospital. The Secret Service was on record that not a single one of its agents was at the scene of the assassination, other than those passing through in the motorcade-and all of them were gone in minutes. This meant either that the Secret Service was lying or mistaken or than the man Officer Smith encountered was nor really a Secret Service agent.

Then one day that autumn I had a chance conversation with Russell Long, th United State senator from Lousiana. The subject of Kennedy's assassination arose. To this day, I recall his words : "Those felllows on the Warren Commission were dead wrong." he said in his blunt fashion. "There's no way that man could have shot up Jack Kennedy that way."
I was suprised to hear this from one of the most intelligent members of the U.S. seante, a man I Knew personnally and deeply respected.

Five days before the assassination the New Orleans F.B.I. office received a telexed warning that an attempt would be made to assassinate the President in Dallas at the end of the week. The Bureau did not pass on the warning to the secret Service or other authorities. Shortly after the assassination, the telex message was removed from the file drawer of the New Orleans office of the Bureau.
