If, as conspiracy theorists advocate, several items related to the JFK assassination have been altered such as:
- JFKs X-rays
- the Zapruder film
- eyewitness reports
Then what's stopping something as simple as an a4 sheet of paper from being forged? I think i could almost make a good forgery myself using photoshop. So what is the point in even chasing after these documents such as Jeff Morley is doing as part of the Morley v. CIA case (where he is looking for the release of CIA documents related to the 1963 DRE CIA handler George Joannides)?

Thank you, Mr. Parry. I have quoted and linked your reporting on The October Surprise with research I posted yesterday. My focus is on the connection between
Casey’s friend John M Shaheen and 1958 defector to the Soviet Union, Robert Webster’s employer, H James Rand. Shaheen married in May, 1951. His best man was Rand. Shaheen’s sister Ruth was the wife of Hugh Downs. Shaheen and his bride honeymooned on Marathon Key in FL in a group organized by the next door Cleveland neighbor of Shaheen’s and Rand’s OSS friend, Dan T. Moore, brother of Drew Pearson’s wife, Luvie Moore Abell Pearson. Dan Moore’s neighbor was Yale Bonesman, Dr. George W. Crile, Jr., the father of the George Crile who worked as a journalist for Pearson and Jack Anderson and then for 31 years at CBS TV network and 60 Minutes. A CIA document in Bill Simpich’s new book describes a plan in 1960 by Moore to go to Moscow with Rand to attempt to smuggle Robert Webster out in a car left in Moscow by Rand Development Co.
Coincidence that all of these journalists, save the deceased Pearson, neglected to report on their own familiarity with John M Shaheen, or grave ethics breech?
Was Shaheen involved in a defector program with H James Rand?

Wouldn't the CIA have suppressed this, if it was their perogative, but seems not to have? IOW, consider that some of your readers are better informed than you and it is possible you are not asking the relevant questions?

Yes, the CIA Director Was Part of the JFK Assassination Cover-Up
John McCone was long suspected of withholding information from the Warren Commission. Now even the CIA says he did.

And why was Morley's pursuit more troubling than this predecessor of Joannides, especially considering how little we still know about him and his controversial, close friend?
It does seem the CIA really, really did not want to inform the HSCA of much, at all. I've always wondered why Mr. Morley does not make all that much of the judge who seemed impervious to four successful appeals by Morley's attorney. That judge, appointed to the federal, bench by GHW Bush's son, happened to be instrumental in shutting down the October Surprise, congressional inquiry in 1992, along with Bush family "go to guy" (see 911 inquiry) Rep. Lee Hamilton.

....The summary of the report harshly criticizes another principal source of many of the allegations, an Israeli named Ari Ben-Menashe. Mr. Ben-Menashe has told several reporters that he was present at a meeting in October 1980 in Paris between Iranian representatives and people from the Reagan campaign. Mr. Ben-Menashe has suggested at various times that George Bush, the Republican candidate for Vice President at the time, was at the Paris meeting. The panel said it had conclusive evidence that Mr. Ben-Mehashe was not in Paris then.
The panel, led by Representatives Lee Hamilton, Democrat of Indiana, and Henry J. Hyde, Republican of Illinois, had earlier released an interim report dismissing the theory that Mr. Bush attended any meetings in Paris in 1980.

CRACK COP

.....Critics have long accused the CIA of using drug traffickers to raise cash for Ronald Reagan’s 1980s war against the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. Now, recently released FBI documents show that a former top agency official met throughout that period with Ronald J. Lister, an ex–Laguna Beach police detective who claimed to be the link between the South American cocaine trade, the Nicaraguan contras and the CIA.
The documents — released in response to the Weekly’s 1997 Freedom of Information request — concern Lister and William Earl Nelson, a vice president for security for the Irvine-based construction giant Fluor Corp. Nelson’s previous job: deputy director of operations for the CIA. The heavily redacted memos do not substantiate claims that the CIA was involved in drug dealing, but elaborate on troubling relationships first exposed in “Dark Alliance,” a 1996 investigative report by Gary Webb, then a reporter at the San Jose Mercury News.
How Lister and Nelson met isn’t clear, because of government censors. But the documents do show that Nelson told FBI agents he met with Lister three to four times a year until 1985 and discussed various business ventures, including one in Central America.
