Context The Warren
Commission
Recipe for a Coverup?
Conspiracy theorists often point to a memorandum
written by Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach
three days after the assassination as a call for a top-level government coverup
of a conspiracy. One passage from the memo reads:
The public must be satisfied that Oswald
was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and
that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial.
Katzenbach explained the memo, and the
general thinking among top administration officials in his testimony before the
House Select Committee on Assassinations. Rather than calling for a coverup,
the memo called for a full disclosure of the facts of the case. This is made
clear in a passage the conspiracy books seldom quote:
It is important that all of the facts
surrounding President Kennedy's Assassination be
made public in a way which will satisfy people in the United States and abroad all that
the facts have been told and a statement to this effect be made now.
. . . and further:
I think this objective may be satisfied by
making public as soon as possible a complete and thorough FBI
report on Oswald and the assassination.
. . . and finally:
I think, however, that a statement that
all the facts will be made public property in an orderly and responsible way should
be made now.
If one assumes, as conspiracists do, that
there was clear evidence of a conspiracy, and that Katzenbach knew there was
such evidence, then the memo is the recipe for a coverup. The reality, however,
is that Katzenbach like most of official Washington
was convinced that Oswald had done it alone, but also convinced that theorizing
about a conspiracy (especially a Communist conspiracy) harmed the national
interest.
Did Gerald Ford Move the Wound in
Kennedy's Back?
Conspiracists have insisted that the wound
in Kennedy's back was too low to be consistent with the Single Bullet Theory.
Thus, the fact that Warren Commission member Gerald Ford
changed the description of the wound in a draft of the Warren
Commission Report from "back" to "neck" seems
sinister to them. But was it really sinister, or was Ford acting in good faith?
