This is bizarre, since Lane seems to believe that the FBI was part of
the "cover-up" and nothing they said should be believed.

But then he bitches that the WC did not pay any attention to them!

This reminds me of the story of the lawyer whose client has been
charged with rape. The lawyer addresses the jury:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is innocent. He never
laid *eyes* on this woman until she came forward with these
scurrilous, scurrilous charges."

"And besides, she consented to have sex with him."

Ben just doesn't get it.

Lane implied to his readers that the FBI report contained important
information that the WC ignored.

But in fact, the WC used the sources and raw information the FBI
developed.

Anybody can read the FBI report, which is Commission Document 1.

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=10402

And Ben can't explain why Lane thinks that WC should have accepted
without question the FBI report, since Lane thinks the FBI was at the
center of a huge cover-up.

Your guy Lane is a sleazy character, Ben.

Where's your refutation, John?


>Lane implied to his readers that the FBI report contained important

No John, he doesn't "imply" any such thing. You clearly haven't taken the
time to actually *read* the chapter I'm quoting.

Could you *really* have possibly believed that this is all Mark Lane says
on the topic???


Is this the sort of logic you teach? Read the first paragraph setting up a
number of points the author raises, then blast the author for not
explaining everything in his FIRST paragraph?


>But in fact, the WC used the sources and raw information the FBI

And fails to reveal the contradictions they had with that report. Mark
Lane was merely being accurate, just as you are not.

Why would I explain any such thing, John?

Why not *YOU* explain your repeated assertions that you've still not
supported regarding Dodd?



>Your guy Lane is a sleazy character, Ben.


You *STILL* refuse to quote a "lie" on his part... why is that, John?

The problem is that Lane intentionally mislead his readers.

He implied there was all kinds of important information in the FBI
report (CD 1) which the WC ignored.

But in fact, the WC used the primary sources the FBI compiled (while
not merely using the FBI's conclusions).

I've read what you posted.

If his point isn't to imply that the WC improperly ignored the FBI
report, what *was* his point?

I'm betting you dodge this issue, since you know perfectly well that
I'm right.

What was his point?

Was your post misleading about the nature of what Lane said?

"Fails to reveal the contraditions?" What does that mean?

The WC used the primary sources the FBI developed, and came to their
own conclusions.

Because it would be necessary to defend Lane.

But you really can't do that, can you?

That's your problem.

You keep saying this, yet refuse to quote any examples.


>He implied there was all kinds of important information in the FBI
>report (CD 1) which the WC ignored.


No, he didn't "imply" it at all... he went on to discuss EXACTLY what the
WC never included in their report.

I find it amusing that you can draw conclusions based on the initial
paragraph of a topic discussion.


>But in fact, the WC used the primary sources the FBI compiled (while
>not merely using the FBI's conclusions).


And did EXACTLY what Mark Lane stated that they did.

You'll have to do better than this if you want to convince anyone other
than your students.


I'm *STILL* waiting for the quote of Mark Lane "implying" that Dodd heard
anything.

Then don't you think you should wait until the entire *topic* has been
posted?


>If his point isn't to imply that the WC improperly ignored the FBI

Speaking as someone who wrote about logic, is it "logical" to comment on
an initial paragraph without reading the rest of the paragraphs that deal
with the topic being discussed?



>I'm betting you dodge this issue, since you know perfectly well that
>I'm right.


I'm betting that if you don't like what I say, you'll censor it without
any notice, as you've been doing.

Exactly what I said. Can you point out, in the WCR, where the WCR revealed
the contradictions they had with *their* theory, and the FBI report's
theory?

And failed to reveal the contradictions... just as I stated. (and as Mark
Lane points out)

Actually, my problem is that you're censoring posts with no notice, and
almost certainly without anyone else checking up on you.

That would explain Peter's silence on a question I directed at him.

Holmes is trying to *swamp post* his way out of trouble.

Earth to Holmes.

McAdams responded to what YOU posted.

It demonstrated that Mark Lane was lying yet AGAIN in his book Rush to
Judgment.

What bit out of THAT don't you understand, Holmes?

Your bleating that he should go back and read more of what YOU never
posted in the first place to make your argument is downright
LAUGHABLE, Holmes.

Lane, pure and simple, is a serial LIAR in RTJ, Holmes.

"Swamp posting" is the description of someone answering every point
raised.

And then refuses to respond to my refutation.

You see, John is surely aware that I'm quoting paragraph by paragraph, so he
*KNOWS* that the answers to his questions are coming up.

You first have to demonstrate it, not merely keep claiming it.



>What bit out of THAT don't you understand, Holmes?


I understand that John knew quite well that he was responding to the first
paragraph of a long line of paragraphs discussing a particular issue.

I understand that *YOU* refused to deal with any of it.

I understand that John refuses to respond to my refutation.

What bit out of THAT don't you understand, Tim?

Your whining that John wasn't intelligent enough to understand that I'm
*quoting* from a book he should be quite familiar with is downright
LAUGHABLE, Tim.



>Lane, pure and simple, is a serial LIAR in RTJ, Holmes.


You can't get to "serial" without getting past *one*.

Tell us John, why are you censoring without any notice whatsoever?

And censoring posts that follow the rules?

Can you explain why Peter isn't seeing these posts?
