While looking for particular information for a piece I'm working on, I stumbled upon a quote I recognized as mine.
It was posted to a blog by Bob Huffaker, in part, to complain that I had assumed he worked with Army Intelligence in 1963.

Here is what Bob wrote -- his comments in italics. My comments are interspersed in bold:
----------------------------------
It's even worse that this idiocy's theme is that we made our careers by keeping our mouths shut about "the conspiracy." And made ourselves rich. What a colossal joke.
There were two or three people who wrote this little exchange of silliness, which I copied and pasted from the Mack White blog.
Bob, what you copied was not from the Mack White blog. It was from this discussion, which included a quote from the White blog:

The one who assumes that I was a clandestine intelligence officer is addressing someone named Bill (probably the William Kelly).
It is incorrect that I assumed you were with Army intel. I stated your profile fits that of an intelligence officer. A job in the media hardly runs counter to that.
You were also stationed at Ft Hood - the original source of weapons stolen from the Terrell Armory. Army intelligence was involved in a multi-agency investigation of that.
You may or may not know it, but in the 1950s and 60s, there was a shortfall in army intelligence ranks, so a lot of recruitment was done from the Reserves.
If your comments can be taken as a denial, I happily accept you had nothing to do with intelligence.
It is not "silliness" to say that your name was on a police list of people who had information about a Ruby - Oswald connection. That is a fact. Your name is right there along with Pixie Lynn, Gaston Powell, Wilburn Lichfield, Chloe Stansell, Linda Jackson and Lt George Butler. The ONLY person whose interview is missing from the files is YOURS. All that I have found is a report stating you had already been interviewed regarding this, and that the report from that interview had been filed. It now appears to have been lost, destroyed, or withheld. Do you deny being interviewing on this subject? Any idea why your name would appear on such a list? What discussions preceded your Warren Commission testimony which delineated the scope of your testimony to ensue no questions would be asked about your (alleged) knowledge of a Ruby - Oswald connection?
It appears that the Mack White fellow wrote the initial post. I don't know who the Tony is who is congratulated upon his "good work."
And I do not know who "Mack White" is. His comments were simply copied and pasted, same as you did with it. "Tony" was the person who initiated the discussion (which was about George Senator - not you. But that's what can happen in such discussions - subject matter can move on).
Sheesh,
Bob
"Sheesh", indeed. Let's be fair about this. I'll buy your book and read it with an open mind since, in a different post, you invited those on the conspiracy side to do so. Would you care to reciprocate by reading one small essay with an open mind?
