No Nuke Wars are Good Wars

[Steve M. Galbraith]

One of the oddest decisions by Warren, one that indicated that someone was directing him, was his order for the WC to not interview Sylvia Duran, the Cuban secretary who met Oswald in Mexico City when he sought a transit visa. According to the two WC staffers who were assigned the Mexico City question, David Slawson and William Coleman, they went to great lengths to arrange an interview. Slawson said that some figures in the CIA (Ray Rocca) actively helped them find Duran and arrange one. After lengthy negotiations with Duran's lawyer, they finally had something set up. But Warren was adamant about not allowing it. Note: Duran would testify to the HSCA.

Earl Warren was correct in that the WCR stood on its own and has for almost 62 years. The fact that many people don't accept it is an indictment of them, not the WCR.

Warren was also correct in that they laid out all the evidence they had collected in the 26 volumes. Many of the eyewitness accounts were contradictory and the WC did what they could to resolve those conflicts. In so doing, they gave very logical reasons why they accepted one person's account and not another's. When they were unable to resolve the conflicts, they said so and gave their reasons why. That is why they could never say for certain which of Oswald's 3 shots was the miss which also prevented them from determining how long it took him to fire all three shots.
