New Articles President Barack Obama's decision about Afghanistan is drawing comparison's to JFK's decision not to bomb Cuba. The Real Sonia Sotomayor: How President Obama's Supreme Court nominee and a cliique of judges saved Gerald Posner, Bob Loomis, and the Warren Report, by Roger Bruce Feinman, J.D. Robert McNamara, widely viewed as the most instrumental man in America's involvement in Vietnam, is dead at 93. Jefferson Morley's effort to get CIA files on George Joannides will likely put Barack Obama's declared FOIA support to the test. JFK Ten Point Program The truth has always been on our side. But in the court of public opinion, our opponents still manage to score points. To remedy this, Joseph E. Green has developed ten points that summarize essential truths to bear in mind. "Rethinking Conspiracy" is an interesting commentary on how the C-word— "conspiracy"—is needlessly pejorative. The Obama administration is considered in light of James W. Douglass's JFK and the Unspeakable (see "Reviews" section, below), in this article in Sojourners magazine. See, too, this video interview with author Douglass.

Articles and Opinion Arianna Huffington, Tina Brown and the New Media: Death at an Early Age? describes a recent article by Edward J. Epstein that appeared on the Huffington Post blog. Did The Mob Kill JFK? is another seriously flawed documentary from the Discovery Channel, reviewed by James DiEugenio. JFK: The Ruby Connection aired on the Discovery Channel around the time of the forty-sixth anniversary of the JFK assassination. James DiEugenio has this review. Be sure to see Part Two, and Part Three, Gary Mack Replies: Dr. Faustus Defends His Deal. JFK: Inside the Target Car, a re-enactment of the JFK assassination, aired late last year on the Discovery Channel. This article is by Milicent Cranor. We have additional critiques of this program, including a review by Dr. David W. Mantik, MD, PhD. CTKA's James DiEugenio says the program has no credibility. See Part One, Part Two, and Part Three of his review. Presidential Limo expert Pamela McElwain-Brown has an insider's perspective on how this program came to be. And John Kelin demonstrates that when it comes to network veracity, the Discovery Channel program is nothing new.
Please read this CTKA Action Alert for suggestions on responding to this program.
Dr. David Mantik discusses the JFK autopsy in an expanded verson of a 2003 presentation.
The legacy of former Dallas D.A. Henry Wade is under scrutiny. Wade, who would have prosecuted Lee Oswald and did win a conviction against Jack Ruby, has had nineteen of his convictions overturned by DNA evidence. Meanwhile, the Assassination Archives and Research Center is urging the House and Senate to hold oversight hearings on the JFK Records Act. Read AARC Chairman Jim Lesar's letter to the oversight committee chairmen. Lesar was motivated in part by recently-disclosed JFK assassination memorabilia, made public by the current Dallas DA in late February. In this commentary, CTKA's James DiEugenio wonders why this stuff has been hidden for so long. NEW Finally, New Zealand researcher Seamus Coogan offers up an extract from his videotaped interview with former Dallas policceman H.B. McLain.
The Role of the Media The articles you will find via the above links are a comprehensive dissection of the media and its shameful coverage of the political assassinations of the 1960s. If you are a newcomer to these cases, we strongly recommend you begin to explore the site at this area. You will quickly understand why 1) the mainstream media has a significant credibility problem, and 2) why the press sees these cases one way and the public generally sees them another.
