BBC2 whitewash of Kennedy assasination

category international | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Sunday November 23, 2003 23:29author by Jim Garrison was right

The BB2 programme currently screening is a tired rehash, reinforcement of the Warren Commission's findings. The programme promised to use up to date computer graphics to analyse the Zepruder film in depth, but failed to show or explain the Zepruder film in its entirety. Failing to explain the moment the president's head is hit from in front, causing a massive exit wound at the back of the Presidents' head, which effectively blows off the back of the president's scalp.

BBC2 Documentary should be judged on what it fails to show and investigate. What it glaringly chooses to omit, in an attempt to reinforce the Warren commision's whitewash. Failing to investigate Lee Harvey Oswald's role as a CIA agent, and his close connections with covert American intelligence black ops operatives such as Clay Shaw/Bettram and right wing Cuban exiles. Failing to explain why basic security service protection policies were not put in place to secure the President's safety. Why the intelligence corp which with experience of protecting the president and which normally dealt with preparations to secure the president was stood down that day in a known hostile environment.
