Amusingly Ben doesn`t give the reason why Brennan said he didn`t, lurkers.

Has Ben given any reason to believe that the WC wanted him to do anything but tell the truth about what he saw?

Ben like to make declarations, lurkers, he hates to back them up.
And him being intimidated by being caught in this situation does nothing to show he was coerced into lying. These retards are always trying to jump the Grand Canyon on tricycles.

Height, weight, race and build were all close, lurkers. These are descriptions of Oswald, not his clothes.

Of course he could. He was wearing a white t-shirt.

One of the witnesses said the shooter could have been wearing a white t-shirt. A co-worker said Oswald was working in his white t-shirt that day. Mrs Reid, who saw Oswald very soon after the shooting said this...
"Mrs. REID. What he was wearing, he had on a white T-shirt and some kind of wash trousers. What color I couldn't tell you."
So a witness who saw Oswald before the shooting said he was wearing a white t-shirt and witnesses after the shooting said Oswald was wearing a white t-shirt. Conspiracy retards have to call the witnesses liars, what the witnesses relate doesn`t support their faith.

I have no idea what Ben means by this, perhaps he will elaborate. Perhaps pigs will fly.
Rowland was probably the further witness to the man on the 6th floor. Here is his affidavit...
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/arowland.htm
"This man appeared to be a white man and appeared to have a light colored shirt on, open at the neck."
Anyone looking at photos of Oswald in his t-shirt can see why this is not terribly inconsistent with a observation from a distance.

Not white, as Ben claimed earlier.

Oswald`s t-shirt could give that impression viewed from a distance, lurkers...

Nothing to dispute there, lurkers. Oswald in his t-shirt is not terribly inconsistent with any of those descriptions.

Many of these witnesses were a lot closer than that, lurkers. Fisher and Edward practically nailed Oswald`s age. Some said "slender", a perfect description of Oswald`s build. DVP is right, these witnesses did not do a bad job at all of describing Oswald.

If the evidence strongly suggests Oswald was wearing his t-shirt when shooting there is no reason to believe he was wearing a dark shirt, lurkers. The retards want to make pretend that such a mundane thing couldn`t have happened, while on the other hand entertaining the most insanely fantastic ideas.

It has been dealt with over and over, lurkers. That this hasn`t shown on Ben`s radar on illustrates the conspiracy retard mindset.

Yet still happened, lurkers.

Brennan admitted to not being truthful at the line-up he viewed, lurkers. He said he could have honestly chosen Oswald as the man he saw but choose not to for the reasons he gave, perfectly normal and human reasons. Looking out for the safety of his family.

Retard figuring, lurkers. The situations changed for Brennan every step of the way. It wasn`t until later that he became aware of Oswald possible ties to communist groups, later he became aware of Oswald being the slam dunk suspect in a police killing. Given time to think he could naturally start to see potential problems for himself getting too involved, and try to limit his involvement.

You weigh the evidence, lurkers. There is no hard, set rules. Was there a dog in the limo? A witnesses earliest report said there was. Later more reliable information showed there wasn`t.

Ben runs anyway, lurkers. He won`t really touch a point I made, he will bluff, bluster, lie, misdirect, ect and call this process "debate".
