Apparently Dirty Harvey watched the parade, alright.
Well, at least until he was satisfied with what he saw.
Or so I hear...

As someone said elsewhere he watched the parade through iron sights.

He had his sights set on watching the parade
(Well at least out to the battlefield-fixed* 230m)

"I contend with the Carcano the Italians had a very intelligent approach for a battle rifle. The fixed sights were basically fool proof. The Italians must have realized with the M38 models that nearly all small arms engagements occurred inside of 200 meters. The fixed sights with a 200 meter zero would have been fool proof for a soldier under stress, who was probably a poor judge of distance to begin with. The soldier would have had to do nothing but point and shoot at the middle of his enemy for ranges out to 220 ? 230 meters. How much more simple and effective could it have been made"----Dave Emary

Mr von Pein thinks that the way to prove that the official interrogation reports didn't lie about Mr Oswald's claimed alibi is to offer a quote from one of the official interrogation reports! 

Meanwhile, back in the real world-------

[David Von Pein]

So Thomas J. Kelley lied in his "official report" too, eh Alan?

How many liars are there in this case, Al? Or can you count that high?

Mr von Pein thinks that the way to show there was no cover-up is to argue that a cover-up would have involved things being covered up! 

Mr von Pein is not doing very well here, is he, friends? His response to the new evidence amounts to a cry of, 'Please everyone, be as gullible as I am! Open your hearts to the official story as I have opened mine all these years, and don't let any nasty facts get in the way of your love!'

Now!

Let's talk about lying, shall we?

Here's what Agent Hosty wrote down:



And here's what Agent Hosty told the Warren Commission:

"Oswald told Captain Fritz that he went to lunch at approximately noon on the 22d of November, ate his lunch in the lunchroom, and had gone and gotten a Coca Cola from the Coca Cola machine to have with his lunch."
----------This sentence reflects his handwritten notes! 

"He claimed that he was in the lunchroom at the time President Kennedy passed the building."
----------This sentence does not reflect his handwritten notes! It a straightforward lie. 

Nothing Mr von Pein or any other member of the Lone Nutter Brains Trust says can distract the rest of us from seeing the glaring discrepancy between Agent Hosty's statements.

So----------------Why did Agent Hosty-----------along with Captain Fritz & Co.------------lie about Mr Oswald's answer to the single most important question put to him in interrogation ('Where were you when the President passed the building')?

Answer that question with a measure of good old-fashioned common sense, friends, and you will understand the significance of the Prayer Man figure.
