Then later we read of the substance of the prophetic
message from the Pentagon's communication center:
"On the flight the party learned that
there was no conspiracy, learned of the
identity of Oswald and his arrest; and the
President's mind turned to the duties of
consoling the stricken and guiding the quick.'
While the superbly flat, calm, controlled voices of
our military were announcing that all was well and
there was no conspiracy, the top law enforcement
official back in Dallas was still under the impression
that a number of men were involved. As late as the
following morning, on November 23rd, District Attorney
Henry Wade was quoted as saying that
preliminary
reports indicated more than one person was involved in
the shooting.
The District Attorney of Dallas did not yet know what
the name of the game was. However, the intelligence
machinery of the federal government could have told him.
This invisible extension of the Pentagon, now the new
seat of power in America, could have told him not only
the name of the game but what the final score would be.
Q.
13.
When your investigation of the Kennedy assassination
was announced in 1967, John J. McCloy, a member of the
President's Commission headed by Earl Warren, made the
comment, "We did not say that Oswald acted alone". He
said that the Commission merely stated tha t no evidence
of a conspiracy was brought to its attention but that
the Commission realized "that some evidence might turn
up in this matter and we know that time is a factor in
the favor of someone hunting such evidence. Whereas
the Warren Commission relied entirely on reports
furnished by the investigators of government agencies,
the District Attorney's Office in New Orleans has its
own detectives. On the basis of the evidence they have
uncovered in the last two years, how many people would
you now arrest, if they were in your own jurisdiction,
and what role did each play in the Kennedy assassination?
