I was born 10 years before the assassination. I'm an experienced person formally educated, but fairly well read about the state of affairs post WWII as it relates to presidential administrations. If you know anything about JFK, then you can surely defend who and what you know past the claim that you've interviewed someone, especially if you staunchly revealed evidence based on that laughable piece of garbage from Bugliosi. He was better off trying to convince us what he thought was Manson's motive for the Tate/La Bianca murders in Helter Skelter. What tripe.
So, I hoping you have a better frame of reference than Vince Bugliosi
Hopefully you're encouraged beyond that long drink of a book - many pages, poorly researched highly insulting to the first generations of investigators and contradictory. Do you know who the first generation of authors were and what they did to drill down to the real questions of that single bullet theory of Arlen Specter's? Which of those titles can you discuss? Have you read anything, or do you just prefer to interview people? Because if that is the only reference, I know you might want to add a few more books on your reading list.
Absurdly, Bugliosi's book, which I had hoped would not leave out important components in it's great length, had nothing but scorn for the critics of the Warren Commission, stating the Kennedy's murder was a "simple case". He then goes on to provide examples of complex issues pertaining to the assassination, including how the seven investigations into the President's murder from from 63 to 98 differed in opinions on various pieces of evidence, such as whether or not the single bullet theory was true, how the Church Committee in the 70's came to the conclusion that the FBI and the CIA had withheld important documents from the Warren Commission. So, after that conclusion, it's simple?
If you have interest in transparency of what is withheld from the American people, then you might want to do more homework.
Good luck.
