Gerald Posner was used by Mike Wallace in his 60 Minutes hit piece on Chris Ruddy and his book The Strange Death of Vincent Foster.
Posner surfaces to gloat over a finding of "death by natural causes" when Carlos Ghigliotti the Davidian FLIR consultant was found dead. Claimed to have evidence of 200 shots fired into the building the final day.
Craig Roberts' book offers a conversation with Hathcock:
One fascinating paragraph in Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza by Craig Roberts occurs on page 89:
According to my friend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, it could not be done as described by the FBI investigators. Gunny Hathcock, now retired, [since died] is the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed killsand a total of over 300 actual kills counting those unconfirmed. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. When I called him to ask if he had seen the Zapruder film, he chuckled and cut me off. Let me tell you what we did at Quantico, he began. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I dont know how many times we tried it, but we couldnt duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I cant do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified marksman do it?
