Your Reviews

pbs is nothing else, over all the years but consitent. under the disguise of such programs as frontline or the american experience you insist that oswald acted alone and that arlen spector and the wa... rren commisions preposterous accusation of the magic bullet theory are the only plausible explanation for this fairy tale. and now, after all these years you trot out the now deceased norman mailer and the enormously rediculous, pseudo- intellectual, priscilla johnson mcmillian. unbelievable. nowhere in the hour and a half program did you mention that oswald had been interviewed for over eight hours by the dallas police and the fbi and to this day there is not a single word of this transscript to be found anywhere, that the official notes of the autopsy, done by dr. jj humes were burned and again no trace of his initial findings can be produced. and finally, that the warren commisions findings were so conclusive, this was a absolute slam-dunk, that the us government chose to NOT release 30% of it's findings until 75 years after the anniversary of the assaination. i don't know? maybe i'm all wet here.
