Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I'm very glad to have this quote concerning Harold Weisberg because it establishes that he recognized malfeasance in regard to the Altgens photo. And of course, he also recognized Oswald as the Doorman in the Altgens photo, and that is the most important thing.

Harold Weisberg did not recognize all the things that we have recognized in the way of alterations in the Altgens photo, and that's understandable because he never really got into computers. He lived into the computer age, for sure, but he was old at the time, and he had health problems, and the bulk of his work was done. 

But today, with the easy digital cropping and enlarging and lightening and brightening, we can see these photos better than ever before, and certainly better than Harold Weisberg could. 

I consider the best scan of Doorman to be the one done by Dennis Cimino.

I consider it better than the HSCA version supplied by Robin Unger, although it isn't bad.

So, Harold Weisberg was a great trailblazer and a visionary, but our ability to analyze the photos is much better today, and we would be foolish to be limited by what he had to say about it. The whole plot to alter images in the JFK assassination was much greater and extensive than anything Harold Weisberg could imagine. So, we take our inspiration and historical context from him, but with the tools we have today, we have the responsibility to look deeper than he did at this aspect of the assassination, and I have no worries that he disapproves from above. On the contrary, I'm sure he would say that we are his heirs. And remember: Harold Weisberg's actual intellectual and material heir, Dr. Gerald McKnight, is a senior member of the Oswald Innocence Campaign.
