Storyline
Details the actions of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who takes it upon himself to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, in 1963. Garrison is extremely suspicious of the official story presented by the FBI, and what he already knows and what he subsequently learns lead him to suspect that there is more to the story than the public is being told. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

title card: "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
President Eisenhower: ...We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. And to do this three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishement. We annually spend on military security alone...
Narrator: January, 1961. President Dwight D. Eisenhowers's Farewell Address to the Nation.
President Eisenhower: ...This conjunction of an immense military establishment and arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence - economic, political, even spiritual - is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office in the federal government. We must guard against the aquisition of unwarranted influence - whether sought or unsought - by the military-industrial complex. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Mr. X says that "we had one-third of a combat division returning from Germany in the air above the United States at the time of the shooting." He suggests they were to be used for riot control. In October 1963, the 2nd Armored Division flew from Fort Hood to Germany, to take part in maneuvers. All but 550 of the division's personnel returned during 12-21 November. By 4 December, they all were home. Armored troops are not as well suited for riot control as infantry is. See more »Quotes
