The Lopez report WAS an HSCA report-- it's name was created by researchers after the fact. What is in an HSCA report, last time I checked, is an HSCA opinion. I brought up the WC for one very simple reason: to argue that the Lopez report can't be considered as an HSCA report is like arguing that WC commission hearings isn't part of the WC. And what is obvious from the WC report is that there conclusions sometimes completely contradicted the testimony found in its volumes. If I said that the WC had Jack Dougherty saying that he didn't see Oswald enter the TSBD with a package, would I be incorrect. Dougherty testified to this in the hearings. The conclusion said the exact opposite. If I said in a sentence "The WC established that Jack Dougherty did not see Oswald enter the TSBD with a package" would I be misrepresenting the WC report. The Lopez Report is an HSCA report, there's no way around that John, as much as you'd like to separate the two. So Newman is absolutely correct in saying that the HSCA reported that Oswald was impersonated in Mexico City. He apparently thought that Lopez, Hardaway, and their investigators, all being HSCA paid with an HSCA sponsored report, were actually part of the HSCA. What a misrepresenation. And you conveniently sidestep the most important fact that undermines your criticism: NEWMAN AGREES WITH WHAT IS IN THE CONCLUSION. He believes that Oswald visited both Embassies. -Stu
