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)

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) .

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)

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)

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:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0308426/

I hope this clears up any controversey over his birthplace. Maybe the Garrisons moved to Denison later on after Jim was born?

[edit] Kennedy assination investigation

Is it the neutrality or the factuality of this section that is in dispute? My guess (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the first and last of the 3 paragraphs in the section are okay, but there are some problems with the middle one. I suggest adding {{fact}} (request for citation) for whatever specific points are in doubt. We need more & better info on Garrison's most famous case anyway. -- Infrogmation 20:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd love if we could whip this article into shape, it certainly needs more information about the Shaw case. But not that paragraph of spin about the CIA. See Talk:Clay Shaw for more information. Gamaliel 21:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] THE JFK MOVIE
