ADDENDUM TO THIS ARTICLE:
There's an important point that I failed to mention in the article above (which I now want to point out here in this addendum post):
Conspiracist James DiEugenio totally misrepresents the reason why "Reclaiming History" author Vincent Bugliosi placed still photographs of Zapruder Film frames 312 and 313 in the photo section of his book, with DiEugenio (incredibly) claiming in his 11/27/08 "Black Op Radio" appearance that the reason Vince highlights Z312 and Z313 in his book is only due to the "leaning forward" status of JFK's head at the time of both of those frames.
But, of course, President Kennedy's exact "leaning forward" posture at the time he was hit with Lee Harvey Oswald's fatal bullet is not the issue at all. And surely DiEugenio must realize it's not the issue. The real issue is that Z312 and Z313 prove, without doubt, that JFK's head was pushed forward by the impact of the bullet that struck his head within the space of that one-eighteenth of a second between those two Z-frames.
But DiEugenio bypasses that real reason entirely and babbles on with some double-talk about how Bugliosi's real reason for propping up those two Z-Film frames is due only to the forward "lean" (or angle) of Kennedy's head.
It's absolutely hilarious to watch a conspiracy theorist twist and mangle the facts at every turn in the (Elm St.) road. It's aggravating as all get out, too. But hilarious as well.
