The Media Must Expose The Lies

By Reed Irvine
Chairman, Accuracy in Media

July 20th will be the eighth anniversary of the death of Deputy White House
Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. For eight years nearly all our media have
refused to examine the evidence in this case. They accepted the finding by
the U.S. Park Police that Foster had driven to Fort Marcy Park, where he
shot himself with what the Park Police evidence officer described as "a
piece of junk." He was referring to a black .38 Colt Army Special, made of
parts of two guns made in 1913 that had rust spots and a grip with a piece
missing.

None of Foster's relatives would say that it belonged to Foster. A nephew
familiar with the guns left to Foster by his father said it was not a gun
his grandfather would have owned. The FBI agents who worked on the Foster
investigations finally got his widow to say that this old black gun looked
similar to the modern silver revolver that she had brought to Washington.
With that, Robert Fiske and Kenneth Starr referred to it in their reports
as "Foster's gun." Fiske's report never mentioned that one gun was black
and the other was silver.

Starr's report was more devious. It says that Mrs. Foster recalled that the
gun she brought from Little Rock was "silver colored," but instead of
saying that the gun in Foster's hand was black, an indisputable fact, it
says, "There are discrepancies in the description of the color." It
requires careful study of the text and two footnotes to learn that the
color was black. The authors of the report recognized that the suicide
theory was doomed if the gun was not Foster's. Their deception was exposed
in the Knowlton-Clarke critique that was ordered appended to Starr's report
by the three judges that appointed him, but the media ignored that.

The Park Police announced the suicide finding in August 1993. They didn't
release a report until June 30, 1994, the same time the Fiske report was
released. By then, reporters had been calling the death a suicide for
nearly a year. They were comfortable with that and contemptuous of anyone
who disagreed. They have grown accustomed to dismissing evidence found by
independent investigators. They have no idea how much evidence of a
government-directed cover-up is now available.

The gun in Foster's hand was not his.

The medical examiner who performed the autopsy claimed he didn't take
x-rays because the machine wasn't working, but service records show that
was false.

X-rays were taken, but they vanished. Why?

The 1" x 1-1/4" exit wound in the skull described in the autopsy report was
neither seen nor felt by the officer who tried to find one. He reported
there was no exit wound.

Fiske's pathologists changed the entrance wound described in the autopsy
report from the back of the throat to the soft palate to provide a credible
trajectory for the bullet in the skull.

The suicide theory is totally demolished by the eyewitness testimony that
Foster's car was not in the Fort Marcy parking lot until ten minutes before
his body was found by a police officer and rescue workers.

Of the 12 or 13 people known to have been in the parking lot between 4:25
and 6:00 p.m. only five have told the authorities what they were doing
there and what they saw.

The first was Patrick Knowlton, who saw only two cars there at 4:25 p.m.
One had Arkansas license plates, but it was not Foster's light gray 1989
Honda Accord. It was a rust-brown mid-80s Honda Accord. He was very clear
about what he saw, and very upset when he learned that the FBI had
misreported some important things he told them. He rejected FBI efforts to
get him to change his story.

His story was confirmed by a couple who arrived 45 minutes later and saw
the same car in the same spot. They also saw two men, one in the car and
the other standing by it. The car and the men were still there at 5:30 when
the couple went into the woods. When the rescue workers arrived at 6:10
p.m. the couple was escorted to the parking lot where Foster's light gray
Honda had replaced the brown car. What they told the Park Police was so
damaging to the suicide theory that the police reported that they had seen
two other cars, one of them Foster's. When interviewed by the FBI, the
couple said that was false.

Jeanne Slade was the first person to see a light gray car in the parking
lot. She was there briefly at about 6:00 p.m., looking for a phone.

Foster's car had been delivered in the nick of time. The three eyewitnesses
who say Foster's car was not there, prove that Foster did not die there.
Fiske and Starr ignored and distorted their powerful evidence, because they
couldn't refute it.
