James DiEugenio's Factoids about Howard Brennan

In this four-part series about the recent ABC documentary, James DiEugenio wrote a section about Howard Brennan. It's a good exercise in how conspiracy factoids crowd out actual analysis.

That's like saying the rain keeps you from being able to drive. The facts are the facts. Mexico and Russia are diversions.

Mr. BELIN. All right. Could you see the man's trousers at all?
Do you remember any color?

Mr. BRENNAN. I remembered them at that time as being similar to the same color
of the shirt or a little lighter. And that was another thing that I called their attention to at the lineup.

Mr. BELIN. What do you mean by that?
Mr. BRENNAN. That he was not dressed in the same clothes that I saw the man in the window.

Mr. BELIN. You mean with reference to the trousers or the shirt?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, not particularly either. In other words, he just didn't have the same clothes on.

Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mr. BRENNAN. I don't know whether you have that in the record or not. I am sure you do.

oops...'we do now'...so then....

Mr. DULLES. Any further questions?
I guess there are no more questions, Mr. Belin.

Mr. BELIN. Well, sir, we. want to thank you for your cooperation with the Commission.

IMHO, you're a diversion.

Perhaps Oswald had removed his shirt when he took his shots. And then used his shirt to wipe down his rifle.

And I included that link about the showup in my post.  Did you not read it?
