Because knowing Oswald as they did, it all made sense.

Greg, I appreciate your continued defense of the Paines. Max Good tries to make himself out to be a neutral narrator, but he is really promoting the conspiracy angle. Because without that he has no film. No one would want to see a film that debunks the various claims about the Paines, as unfortunate as that reality is, even though such a film would be very welcome.

He was there for part of Oswald's visit only. He was on temporary duty in Miami and DC (if I recall correctly) preparing for his new job for part of that time. What Phillips is trying to say regarding photos is they he (and I believe Robert Shaw) made a diligent search for photos of LHO after the assassination and came up empty. Now, I know that will never convince those who think photos were destroyed. Watch for my chapter on MC in The Bishop Hoax coming in a few weeks.

The program the American Assassins was first broadcast in November of 1975: The American Assassins | Dan Rather (danratherjournalist.org)

September 1977 was when the debate between Lane and Phillips occurred. The interview above mentions that Phillips is retired so it would have occurred after May of 1975 but still in that year since it was broadcast then.

Everything you said here is very unfair Sandy. You have not read the WR and you are one of its biggest critics? That doesn't seem right. The junior lawyers that essentially created the report had no bias as many of them have explained (see Willens' book). Not logically thinking? two of the best books were by lawyers (Bugliosi and Posner) and they certainly think logically. As far as the article mentioned by Greg, it has hyperlink citations and anyone can check them out to see if they back up what the author is claiming. I just wrote a book rebutting the Maurice Bishop matter and the book that was based on (Fonzi) has no citations whatsoever. I don't see anyone complaining about that.

Thank you.

BTW, would someone please be kind enough identify the name and year of this broadcast?

I think one of the truths of the assassination story is that people like Phillips and Win Scott wanted to believe that they had acted exactly as they should have when faced with the prospect of LHO in MC. But with the benefit of hindsight, they probably could have done better although Phillips wasn't even in MC for part of Oswald's visit. Watch for Chapter 26 of my eBook, The Bishop Hoax.

I don't see anything unreasonable about what Phillips is saying in this interview. He says: Oswald was at the Cuban embassy. There is plenty of evidence that LHO was in MC. I believe Bugliosi identified fourteen points of evidence in this regard. Oswald was rebuffed in his efforts to secure a visa. No photos. Again, this jibes with the evidence. The photographic coverage was not continuous and glitch-free. Phillips says he is not sure if Oswald physically visited the Soviet compound. This is presumably because that was not his area of responsibility, so he didn't want to say.

IMO, Buzzanco was effective when debating Jim D's theory that JFKs foreign policy decisions led to his assassination. He was less so on specific assassination matters which he admitted he knew little about.

You lost me at Judyth Baker. Honestly, this seems more like a story about the petty differences among researchers than anything else.

No, Kent's daughter (I believe it was) said that he said that-a significant difference.

Did the ARRB Prove a Conspiracy in the JFK Assassination? (onthetrailofdelusion.com)

Pardon me for butting in Greg. I assume that the only evidence of this conversation is Dureau's memory. Since many years passed between the time he allegedly talked to Shaw and spoke about it to Mellen, he could be misremembering details. Or, he could be mixing his memory of an actual conversation with things that he has read in the interim. I have no way to prove it, but I believe that late-occurring memories by individuals like Dureau (and many many others) are likely influenced by what they have read about the case. Take the case of John Armstrong and his "witnesses." These people were told that they witnessed something significant, something that changed history. That is a powerful motive to "remember" something new.
