ACTION ALERT!
January 8, 2013
Please take action now.
Scott Free Productions and National Geographic cable channel plan a telefilm from Bill O'Reilly's horrendous book on the JFK assassination entitled "Killing Kennedy". Please contact these companies now! At the very least, request that National Geographic should allow time for rebuttal or a debate on the weaknesses of this book.
In your communication, please feel free to refer to points made in Jim DiEugenio's review of the book at Consortium News, David Talbot's at Salon, or Ed Curtin's at Dissident Voice. Please email, fax and/or mail your comments. A point to hammer home is that this book is so dated as to be obsolete.
There is no evidence that O'Reilly, or his co-author Martin Dugard, did any genuine, original research. For instance, there are no references to memoranda from the Garrison investigation, the Church Committee, the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or the declassified files of the ARRB. All four of those official inquiries undermine the one official source this book does use: the Warren Report, the much-critiqued report issued 49 years ago.
Today, in the new millennium, the American public deserves something more than a recycled version of the Warren Commission. It deserves some honesty, intelligence, and insight. So does John F. Kennedy.
