I would like to see the entire conversation before commenting further. The most glaring item so far appears to be Aguilar’s admission that he failed to send Odum the FBI report in question (CE2011). Odum was a senior agent in 1963 per Hosty in his book “Assignment Oswald”. 2002 is almost 40-years after the time frame in question. How was Odum to know what the heck Aguilar was talking about? I suspect Odum probably thought Aguilar was asking about events on 11/22/63 (not June of 1964). After all, Odum asked if Aguilar was one of the doctors.
CE2011 is the FBI’s official response to a letter from a presidential commission to the head of the FBI (JEH). Therefore it is reasonable to believe that CE2011 would be accurate. After all, most people working for the FBI wanted to keep their jobs, so the last thing they would want is the wrath of JEH, etc for getting something wrong. On the other hand, it appears that you and John put your faith in a portion of a unauthenticated, unplanned, and unprepared for (by Odum at least) telephone conversation between an apparently inept “researcher” and an old man about details from almost 40-years earlier.
The most glaring item so far appears to be Aguilar’s admission that he failed to send Odum the FBI report in question (CE2011). Which has nothing to do with your biased claim about Odum somehow having trouble understand anything that Aguilar said.
EDIT: Aguilar did in fact send CE2011 and Shanklin's Airtel to Odum
2002 is almost 40-years after the time frame in question. How was Odum to know what the heck Aguilar was talking about?40 years is indeed a long time, but if you held one of the bullets that allegedly killed the President, would you forget that, ever?
How was Odum to know what the heck Aguilar was talking about? But he did know. The transcript shows that Odum even asked Aguilar if he was talking about the bullet found at Parkland.
I suspect Odum probably thought Aguilar was asking about events on 11/22/63 (not June of 1964).
There is no reason to conclude that.
After all, Odum asked if Aguilar was one of the doctors.No he didn't. He asked Aguilar if he was
a doctor. Aguilar has M.D. behind his name and wrote Odum a letter before calling him. Odum confirmed that he received the letter.
CE2011 is the FBI’s official response to a letter from a presidential commission to the head of the FBI. Therefore it is reasonable to believe that CE2011 would be accurate. That's exactly the problem with this kind of stuff. "It's from the FBI, so it must be true". Never mind that the CE2011 report states that Tomlinson allegedly told Odum that the bullet shown "appears to be the same one he found on a hospital carriage at Parkland Hospital" and that Wright said it "looks like the slug found at Parkland Hospital" when there is absolutely no record whatsoever that either man made such a comment.
Even worse, Wright is on record that the bullet now known as CE399 does not resemble the pointed bullet he had seen and handled and Tomlinson is on record that he was only shown a bullet once, in December 1963, by SAC Shanklin (and thus not Odum in june 1964).
And that's not all. In his Airtel to Director FBI, of 6/20/64, Dallas SAC Shanklin wrote: "neither Darrell C. Tomlinson, who found bullet at Parkland Hospital, nor O.P. Wright, Personnel Officer, Parkland Hospital, who obtained bullet from Tomlinson and gave to Special Agent Richard E, Johnson, Secret Service, at Dallas 11/22/63, can identify bullet.
Also, no FD 302 written by Odum on this subject was ever found.
