The Warren Report: Fact or Fiction?

Taped on Dec 1, 1966 (New York City, NY) While many people had been skeptical of the Warren Report's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy, Mr. Lane's book was the first to lay out the argument seriously. He defends himself ably in this spirited exchange. ML: "I take really the same position Alfreda Scoby, one of the lawyers for the Warren Commission, takes, and that is, had Oswald lived, he could not have been proven guilty, had he faced trial, based upon the evidence the Commission was able to secure." WFB: "And of course Warren says that he was a practicing district attorney for ten or twelve years and he could have gotten a conviction in 48 hours with the evidence. You simply disagree with him professionally." ML: "That's nonsense. It would take longer than that to pick a jury, of course." WFB: "Do you think Warren should be impeached?" ML: "I don't think he should be impeached. I think the report should be impeached." -The Firing Line Archives @ The Hoover Institute, Stanford University Guest(s): 1) Lane, Mark. - lawyer, author of Rush to Judgment YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=19aLDtjNHPQ
