Jim Garrison: The Warren Commission thought they had an
open-and-shut
case. Three bullets, one assassin. But two unpredictable things happened
that day that made it virtually impossible. One, the eight-millimeter home
movie taken by Abraham Zapruder while standing by the grassy knoll. Two,
the third wounded man, James Tague, who was knicked by a fragment,
standing near the triple underpass. The time frame, five point six
seconds, determined by the Zapruder film, left no possibility of a fourth
shot. So the shot or fragment that left a superficial wound on Tague's
cheek had to come from the three shots fired from the sixth floor
depository. That leaves just two bullets. And we know one of them was the
fatal head shot that killed Kennedy. So now a single bullet remains. A
single bullet now has to account for the remaining seven wounds in Kennedy
and Connelly. But rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate
further, the Warren Commission chose to endorse the theory put forth by an
ambitious junior counselor, Arlen Spector, one of the grossest lies ever
forced on the American people. We've come to know it as the "Magic Bullet
Theory." This single-bullet explanation is the foundation of the Warren
Commission's claim of a lone assassin. Once you conclude the magic bullet
could not create all seven of those wounds, you'd have to conclude that
there was a fourth shot and a second rifle. And if there was a second
rifleman, then by definition, there had to be a conspiracy.
