  1. No, over the last decade or so I've focused on books. Currently working on the 4th one which will be on gunfight survival. I've known Mas for 40 years or more. Carter I never met. Charley. I knew him too well.
  2. I am a retired Sgt from the Detroit Police Dept whose assignments included SWAT and Homicide. In 1973 I started being published in the police and firearms publications. I met and interacted with many of the old-time coppers and gun writers. Sharpshooter? I was a dept sniper and trained a number of federal agencies including the Federal Air Marshals. Charley never seemed to care of the people he shot were armed or not.
  3. My friend also related that Lemay could not understand why they were forbidden to bomb a US auto mfg plant in Germany and why they were forbidden to bomb the rail lines leading to the death camps.
  4. I'm not an expert but you need to look at the event when it happened. 1963 was before Miranda and a whole number of other court decisions AND you have to look at the skills, experience, and MOTIVES of those doing the searching. This was a Homicide and that critical fact got lost in the focus on the victim. My comment was simply this is that too many people engrossed in this topic are quick to slef anoint themselves at experts. And their criticisms on how the search warrant was executed would be like me telling David Mantik he was wrong!
  5. Well, I wrote and served a couple of hundred search warrants during two separate tours of duty at Detroit Homicide and I wonder how many those who are pontificating on the search of the Paine's property?
  6. Blame it on the National Socialist's and the French? Why the continued cover up if the CIA and Fed Govt skirts are clean?
  7. Most hitman are not snipers-met some while assigned to Detroit Homicide. Why try and smuggle some notorious rascal into the states when the US had large numbers of equally if not more qualified than some well-known foreigner?
  8. I posted because I think too much time is wasted running down false and sometimes intentionally misleading info. The works of fiction focusing on CIA assassins or super secret agents authorized by the president to murder are just tripe! I believe in a conspiracy where the shooters were Antu Castro Cubans directed by JM Wave. Don't agree? That ok, but I have proved this to my own satisfaction. Your mileage may vary!
  9. Well when I promise I keep my promises and if you can't under the promise of non-discourse-it has no expiration date. And frankly, I don't care if people believe me or not
  10. I have an old bud, who was good friends with the General and hunted with him every year until Curt's death. He said Lemay mentioned his dislike of JFK but never mentioned the assassination but that may just have meant he was very careful. He, however, did speak frankly of his WW 2 experiences.
  11. As I said I simply wanted to satisfy my own curiosity. I'm not going to name names as I promised not to. Besides the shooters are not the important ones. Who hired the shooters is what counts.
  12. Trust me. They wouldn't need him. Go to Mary Ferrell's sit and download "Tipping Point". Larry has the best idea about the actual shooters. Independently, I talked to a Vietnam era spec ops sniper who was in the Dal Tex building as a backup who was unneeded. A close friend of mine who was a Green Beret A Team leader in Vietnam before joining CIA has verified the backup sniper's bone fides to me. Since none of the books I'm currently working have anything to do with JFK I've simply satisfied my own curiosity.
  13. So while folks are focused on him, sniper #1, #2. and #3, quietly exit the US.
  14. One wonders how much more damage he could have done if he actually was Philby's mole?
  15. Perhaps a search of folks exiting the US using various forms of transportation might discover "Some nobodies" who upon further examination might prove valuable!
  16. corruption can be and often is everywhere. A Dallas copper I knew and trusted told me Fitz success almost always involved African American Defendents
  17. Just in case no one has figured it out, the Dallas PD was wildly incompetent and could catch a cold in a rainstorm.
  18. "Credibility" sometimes means they support your belief of what happened rather than what actually happened. Long before I became a copper in 1969 detectives would place 3 or 5 fingers on their chest to indicate who they should pick. 1963 would be about the right time frame and Dallas a prime location for such abhorrent behavior.
  19. Witnesses if not separated will provide you with a composite response which will be of no value and if you don't ask the right questions, they will often not volunteer information.
  20. Witnesses if not separated will provide you with a composite response which will be of no value and if you don't ask the right questions, they will often not volunteer information.
  21. As a retired Detroit Homicide Sgt I'd be more troubled if they all agreed.
