What does "evidently" by carlucci mean?<br /><br />regarding dallas, i would like to see firmer evidence. there is some circumstantial evidence to place powell in dallas, including witnesses who saw a black man exit the rear of the tsbd. but that kind of "evidence" would be laughed out of court.<br /><br />i also point out the logistical difficulties of placing powell at the scene of the crime of which the timing of his return from vietnam is paramount.<br /><br />this is subject requiring further research, and i would love to see a tighter case made. until then, i take the cautious path.<br /><br />interpreting history through the hermeneutic of a novel can put you on shaky ground.Tony Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837898079588982436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437084226490579730.post-39164680665559422482012-11-09T20:51:01.641-05:002012-11-09T20:51:01.641-05:00On page 104 his 1995 autobiography (My American Jo...On page 104 his 1995 autobiography (<i>My American Journey</i>), Colin Powell says he first heard about the JFK assassination as he was sitting in an airport in Nashville, Tennessee, waiting for a flight to Birmingham, Alabama.<br /><br />If you look at a map of the United States, you will see that Nashville, Tennessee and Dallas, Texas are roughly equidistant from Birmingham, Alabama. Consistent with Mathis' assertion, Powell very well may have been catching a flight from Dallas to Birmingham, instead of Nashville to Birmingham. Powell's timeline and "alibi" tend to bolster the Mathis case with precision.<br /><br />As for Powell having a hand in the Watergate break-in, Mathis doesn't actually make that claim. Mathis merely says Powell had knowledge of the break-in, which he shared with the "Hoff" character.<br /><br />Powell began working at the Pentagon in July of 1971 (<i>My American Journey</i> page 155) and was moved to the White House in 1972, evidently by Frank Carlucci (<i>My American Journey</i>).<br /><br />Powell was in the game well before the Watergate break-in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437084226490579730.post-25497269886253708332012-11-09T20:49:27.509-05:002012-11-09T20:49:27.509-05:00On page 104 his 1995 autobiography (My American Jo...On page 104 his 1995 autobiography (<i>My American JourneyMy American Journey</i> page 155) and was moved to the White House in 1972, evidently by Frank Carlucci (<i>My American Journey</i>).<br /><br />Powell was in the game well before the Watergate break-in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
