What is your take on the work of Tom Wilson?
I was one of the few researchers who understood Tom's work, and he often told me that I was the only "researcher" that he trusted, along with Cyril Wecht.
To answer your question, Tom discovered MANY REMARKABLE THINGS, but he was a "lone operator" and not trusting nor inclined to work with others, so I believe he in some instances misinterpreted his findings. Not being a researcher, he was rather naive about some aspects of the investigation. Not believing that the Justice Department could have been involved (Hoover, FBI), he was hoping to use his discoveries to get the Justice Department to reopen the investigation.
He had a brilliant scientific mind, but as a newcomer to JFK research, some of his approaches were flawed. He should have worked with other trusted
researchers...for instance George Michael or PD Scott.
His most important discovery is UNKNOWN. Through Ted Kennedy, he was
granted access to the MOST SECRET FILES in the Archives, where he was able to VIEW THE ORIGINAL AUTOPSY PHOTOS BEFORE THEY WERE ALTERED. He was not allowed to copy them or make notes, but I presume that among his effects he left a description of the event.
I hope that this knowledge was not involved in his untimely demise.
