[edit] reverted much of the anon edit

I reverted much of the anon edit by 64.12.117.6. It seemed to have a few good points of additional info which I tried to incorporate, but had formating problems (for example, we should not lead off with his World War II service, which is not what he is best known for) and some NPOV problems (when discussing controversial people or topics which intelligent people can have disagreements about, differing opinions should be noted). Possibly more from 64.12.117.6's edits could go in the article, but please try to keep it more in line with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 16:26, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] quotes make Garrison look like the guilty one

The quotes make Garrison look like the guilty one! I object to this kind of bias. I have a site for conspiracy information that doesn't fit here too. Conwiki 03:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree, the quote attributed to Garrison (James Phelan) makes him appear to be a person to be held in contempt. It should be noted that Mr. Phelan has been discredited as an objective source on the Garrison investigation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.125.141.198 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Garrison's birthplace of Denison, Iowa

I have verified Garrison's birthplace of Denison, Iowa with The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives, Gale Contemporary Authors Online, and Gale Newsmakers 1993 Please provide a source if you wish to change this info again. Gamaliel 22:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I am from Knoxville, Iowa, and know that Jim Garrison was born there. The closest online verification I can come to right now is from IMDB, owned by Amazon. I hope this clears up any controversey over his birthplace. Maybe the Garrisons moved to Denison later on after Jim was born?

[edit] CIA was DCS

The CIA says that Clay Shaw was involved with the Domestic Contact Service. I don't know if this is as well as being involved with QKENCHANT or instead of, this should be addressed in the article. Ted BJ 06:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] THE JFK MOVIE

did he see it? what was his reaction? should this be on his page? I THINK SO!

Given that he was in the movie - he played Earl Warren - it is likely that he saw it.

[edit] Footnotes

There are literally volumes and volumes written (and lots of primary source information) about Big Jim's life, focusing primarily on his career and the period of the investigation, the trial, etc. I don't dispute the article, but really every claim should be either inline-sourced or properly footnoted, as there is no shortage of verifiable information to support such claims and "facts" (unlike Big Jim's and Oliver Stone's work). I've accordingly added the {{inline}} tag. Srajan01 02:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

Changed the introduction to make it more neutral with respect to weather or not there was a "conspiracy", i.e. “a conspiracy” instead of “the truth behind a conspiracy” which implies there was one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.14.109 (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
