Fletcher Prouty excerpt:
"It's like you stand on a stack of bibles, Chuck Colson and Howard Hunt tried to rewrite the stack of bibles to prove that is was Kennedy that said shoot [Diem], but nobody in Washington said shoot Diem, you don't do an assassination that way. The way people are assassinated is by taking away the power that had been created to keep them there. It's a lot easier that way. Of more interest to me than a genealogy of Lee Harvey Oswald and all the rest is, who said, "Lets go to Dallas Jack."? --I understand that Kenny O'Donnell feels real bad about it. I understand that Bobby Kennedy's said from time to time he wished he'd have put his foot down about it. Gerry Bruno, the greatest advance man in politics went there, but did Gerry Bruno pick the route? Maybe Mark can tell you who did. Who decided let's go to Dallas? "You've been to Fort Worth, you've got to go to Dallas." That's important because whoever decided that knew some things. I have worked with the Secret Service in their good work to keep presidents alive. I went to Mexico City when Eisenhower was going down there in 1956 and I'll tell you, the Secret Service knows the game, just like the guerrillas in France knew the game. They can keep the President alive. Where were they?
"How does it happen you can have a six story building with a lot of empty floors. They never wired or sealed the doors as their manual says they will; nor had anybody on the roof with high powered guns and with radios as their manual says they will; or had a man in Dealey Plaza to look at the man on the roof and to look at the windows as their manual says they will. If you don't drive over 44 mph, a nice figure but it works out in tests, why did they bring that car down to a crawling speed. Those are more important to me than a genealogy of Lee Harvey Oswald or anybody else on the grassy knoll. I think I'll stop there. That's what I call the anatomy of assassinations. It gets you thinking, you know." [emphasis added]
