The Warren Commission failed us., 20 November 2004
Author: Mike Cain (mcain@mindspring.com) from Roswell, GA

I saw a screening of this movie in Dallas on 19 Nov. I've always been a Warren Commission skeptic, but this film goes way beyond confirming my suspicions. I hope this film gets wide distribution so people can finally begin to understand the ways we were manipulated.

Mark Sobel, working primarily from the real documents that back up their work, and from recordings of the president's conversations, makes a compelling case for abandoning any notion that the Warren Commission conducted anything like a serious inquiry into the death of JFK. Their job was to certify a report written by the FBI, who also did not investigate JFK's death.

See the movie when you can and draw your own conclusions, but please, see this movie.
