Steve Wrote:The main author of the Warren Report - the person who actually put pen to paper - was Norman Redlich. Mr. Redlich was a progressive/liberal who defended the rights of radical left groups and people. Ford wanted him removed from the investigation because he thought he, Redlich, was too leftwing. Warren refused to remove him. 

When the conspiracy people claim the WC was a whitewash and that it covered up for a rightwing type coup they are accusing people like Redlich of the act. 

Why would a progressive like Redlich work with rightwinger to stage a coup? Then keep it quiet all of his life? 

When you accuse the WC of being a coverup you're not just accusing the CIA or Hoover or LBJ of being involved. You are accusing people like Redlich and Warren and John Hart Ely (google his name) of doing so. 

No they didn't. And wouldn't. 

It's truly amusing to note that the very same people who loudly complain that the Warren Commission was honest - absolutely REFUSE to defend the Warren Commission when knowledgeable critics point out the lies and misrepresentations contained in the Warren Commission Report.

I'm not afraid to label a "leftwing" a liar...

Nor am I afraid to label a conservative a liar...

It's the truth at stake here... not political affiliation.

The Warren Commission repeatedly lied about their own evidence & testimony... and true believers such as Steve can only run from this fact.
