Posner Lies To Congress: The Proof 


 J. Thornton Boswell Exposes 
Gerald Posner's Lies and Errors in a Phone Conversation with Dr. 
Gary Aguilar







 
     Here are digitized 
sound files of Dr. Boswell telling Dr. Aguilar the real story about 
author Gerald Posner's absurd claims to have spoken with Boswell and 
also a shocking revelation that Boswell believes that there are errors 
in Posner's 1993 book Case Closed. This horrendous book 
was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in History. To the voting 
committee's credit, it did not win. 



 
 The sound quality has been reduced slightly, in an effort to 
reduce file size, but they have NOT been edited. They have also been 
divided into eight smaller pieces to further deal with the very large 
size of audio files. The next file picks up exactly where the preceding 
one leaves off and are part of one continuous 90 second excerpt from a 
conversation that Dr. Aguilar had with Dr. Boswell on March 30, 1994. 



 
 In late 1993, Gerald Posner rudely interrupted the testimony 
of Dr. Randy Robertson before the House of Representatives Legislation 
and National Security Subcommittee chaired by Representative John 
Conyers, to make the following shocking and preposterous claim. 




QUOTE ON:




 Mr. POSNER. I have interviewed the autopsy doctors. I have interviewed 
Mr. O'Neil. What is left here on the record today should not be allowed 
because it is not correct, which is the implication that the autopsy 
doctors agree with their original drawings in 1963, which were made without 
the benefit of the X-rays and the photographs, that they had had done at 
the autopsy. 


To the credit of the House Select Committee on Assassinations and 
Congressman Stokes, that committee did a superb job on the forensics 
of this case. It was the work of that committee that had the two autopsy 
physicians change their mind, that they had been mistaken about the 
placement of the wound here, and that it is in fact correctly placed 
4 inches higher. I have spoken to them about this and they have 
confirmed their change of testimony that they gave before the House 
Select Committee on Assassinations. 




QUOTE OFF:




 
 Nothing could be further from the truth! Not only did the 
JFK autopsy pathologists, Humes and Boswell NOT change their minds 
about the low position of the head wound (which makes the alleged 
shot from above and behind impossible, and therefore refutes the 
ridiculous lone-assassination theory that Lee Harvey Oswald alone 
murdered JFK) but Gerald Posner never even spoke to Boswell! How 
do we know this? J. Thornton Boswell himself, a man who participated 
in the autopsy of President Kennedy (and who believes Lee Harvey Oswald 
acted alone) tells us this in this conversation with Dr. Aguilar. 
 


 
 So, do we believe Posner or do we believe Boswell? The only 
reasonable conclusion we can draw is that Posner, in his determined 
effort to rehabilitate the long-discredited Warren Commission 
version of the assassination, will stop at nothing, including lying 
to the United States Congress, to "close" the case. 



 
 What does this false statement to Congress tell us 
about Gerald Posner's "journalistic integrity?" Shouldn't he be 
brought up on charges of lying to Congress? Is lying to Congress 
even a crime that you can be prosecuted for? Should Posner have to 
answer for this kind of deliberate deception?  

 

 NOTE: Please be patient. 
Even with the sub-division of the original, large sound file, 
it may take 20-30 seconds to load each smaller, wav file into 
your windows audio player program.
