Dear Dr. Wecht,

In your recent book, Cause of Death, you state the
following:


"As the computer scans the remainder of the photograph, Tom
has it focus on the neck area.  When he eliminates levels of
gray thereby removing shadows, he spots a hole in the neck
area of Kennedy's coat.

'This is where the missile went in,' [Tom Wilson] says.
'Look, it clearly shows the coats fibers going inward,
meaning he was shot from the front.

This was some of the most amazing news I had ever heard, or
certainly had ever seen.  If his technique can be duplicated
by scientists at MIT or a similar educational facility and
is not subject to inadvertant manipulation and variation,
this technology could end the government's claim of a single
gunman.  The technique will tell us where the bullet were
and whether they were entrance or exit wounds. . ."

I do not understand why you did not dismiss this claim out
of hand.

Here are some problems you seem to have overlooked:
1.  The resolution of Z frame 313 makes it impossible to
distinguish individual fibers of the coat.  No technique, no
matter how sophisticated, can enhance resolution of a
photograph to show things that are simply not physically
present within the grains of the film.

2.  As you know, since you have inspected the original JFK's
coat at the National archives, there are no bullet holes in
the area of JFK's coat in which Wilson claims to see one.

Thus it appears that Wilson cannot possibly be correct, no?

Your comments please.
