(9,111 posts)What are 'the lengths' I'm going to, in your estimation? Is the Sol Bloom Agency indexed in your copy of the report? Or is it just a figment of someone's imagination?
Did they make the original route, for p.r. purposes, with security people having oversight and veto power?
45 minutes and 10 miles wouldn't change, if the route moved from 'Main to the Freeway via the next onramp' to 'Houston to Elm to the Elm Freeway entrance'. Does Sorrel's testimony include any questions from the Commission on why he felt Jerry Behn (head of the White House S.S. detail) was correct in stating the assassination was "a plot"?
So the Dallas S.S. head (who got Kennedy killed) and the Dallas police (who got the 'suspect' killed) told the gang of repugs on the Commission that the route was 'the proper one'. I can see that it's such a non-issue. I wonder why any questions were asked about the route at all. Probably just for filler, to expand the page and volume number, in order to give the purchasing public their dollar's worth.
Did the Commission ask why agents stayed out late partying at a night-club owned by one of Ruby's buddies? Did they ask if it was standard protocol for the S.S. to hit the brakes after hearing gunfire? Or did they hit the gas, and the First Lady had just developed a Spiderman-like grip?
Octa's 'bs' did me a big favor, by digging out the pertinent fact that there was no reason to go from Main over a concrete divider to hit the Elm St. Freeway entrance. I didn't have the layout of the streets, just the idea that there had to be another way to get to Ft. Worth from Main without going from Houston to Elm, or over a concrete divider with a police cycle escort. So, the question, stopbush, is this: did the S.B. Agency plan the route originally , and do you believe anything that the repugs and Dallas police/security forces haven't told you?
