Jefferson Morley, author and researcher, discusses his interest in the CIA and the JFK assassination. He explains that his aunt's connection to the CIA sparked his curiosity, and his reporting on the CIA's role in Central America led him to delve deeper into the agency's activities. Morley emphasizes that his books are not JFK conspiracy theories, but rather explore the CIA's involvement in the events surrounding the assassination. He also discusses the ongoing litigation to release JFK records and the lack of transparency from the CIA. The lack of corroboration and the unavailability of full testimony from key witnesses, such as Lee Bowers, hinder the investigation into the JFK assassination. However, advancements in technology, such as the internet and digital analysis, have greatly assisted in research and analysis of the assassination. The JFK collection is being digitized, allowing anyone with an internet connection to study the records. The Zapruder film and the Air Force One tape have provided new evidence and insights into the assassination. Jim Garrison, while not the original trailblazer in JFK assassination research, played a significant role in bringing attention to the inconsistencies in the official story. Movies like 'Executive Action' and 'JFK' have influenced public perception, but they are not evidence. The assassination and its aftermath have had a profound impact on government accountability, foreign policy, and public trust in the government.
