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

Neither the Report nor the Hearings and Exhibits
provides any visual means of judgment since no
photograph of Lovelady is found in any of the
volumes. Merely asserting that it is Lovelady and
not Oswald in the doorway, the Commission presents
no supporting evidence by which one can
appraise the resemblance between Lovelady and
the man in the doorway, or Lovelady and Oswald,
although nothing less hangs on the accurate identification
of the doorwayman than Oswald's possible
total innocence of the assassination. 

Guess who wrote that? It was Sylvia Meagher in Accessories After The Fact. 

I saw it in this article by John L Johnson: 
Man in the Doorway: Unbelievable Coincidence

Then there is this famous letter to the Secret Service by Helen Shirah, which was published in Harold Weisberg's book, Photographic Whitewash:

Mrs. Helen Shirah states in her letter of January 17, 1964:
...as the motorcade of our late President passes
the Dallas School Soak Depository, there, on the
left, emerging in a hurry from the building, is a
man who bears a striking resemblance to Lee
Harvey Oswald. As a matter of fact, even the
clothes he has on seem to be like the ones Oswald
had on when arrested. I realize that you have concrete
evidence against him but if you find that the
picture is of Oswald, it would mean he had an
accomplice, who is still at large. (Photographic

Whitewash, p. 190)

John Johnson's article is very good, and I'm glad it exists. But, being written in 1998, it doesn't have the advantage of all the research we have done. And as with many others, his mind did not go to photographic alteration even though it was and is compelling. And it's for the same reason that others have resisted going there mentally: because this is America, and we don't do that in this country. 

But wait: I've already cited that many JFK researchers, including many prominent ones, affirm that the Z-film was altered. And many researchers affirm that the medical photos and x-rays were altered, and that includes Dr. David Mantik. And David Lifton was the first to advocate that even JFK's body was altered. 

So, with that much altering of evidence going on, is there any reason to doubt that photographic and film images were altered? 

Please read this by John L. Johnson. I consider it of historic importance. He even offers a $500 reward at the end to anyone who can shed light on Doorman's identity. 

"The Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations both officially identified him as Billy Nolan Lovelady, a look-alike co-worker of Lee Harvey Oswald. But doubt remains: He looks too much like Lee Harvey Oswald and is dressed in a long sleeve shirt open to the waist, similar to the outfit Oswald was wearing when captured."
