Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.92,0:02:24.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the HSCA found a new piece of evidence:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.92,0:02:26.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a police dictabelt recording.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.98,0:02:31.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On this recording, it sounded like 4 shots were fired, rather than 3.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.40,0:02:36.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While it's within the realm of plausibility that Oswald could fire 3 shots,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.18,0:02:39.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4 shots were taken to be proof of a second gunman.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.35,0:02:43.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Although virtually every witness claimed to have heard 3 shots during the murder,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.66,0:02:46.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the HSCA still changed the report,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.42,0:02:49.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,claiming that there probably was some sort of conspiracy,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.60,0:02:53.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,although they could not name any specific conspirators.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.30,0:02:56.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The story of this mysterious recording doesn't stop here.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.68,0:03:03.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and recognized that there might be a cross-over of sounds.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.95,0:03:04.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.73,0:03:09.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that what sounded like 4 shots was actually noise from two different sources.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.50,0:03:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By the time this information came to light,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.70,0:03:15.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the public had already decided that the 4 shots were legitimate.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.67,0:03:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if as Morris argues,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.92,0:03:21.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the conspiracy theories based on this recording are flawed
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.03,0:03:24.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then what - if any - real conspiracy was at play?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.33,0:03:26.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Morris names one that you might not expect:

Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.25,0:03:34.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,participated in an intelligence cover-up at the highest levels,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.38,0:03:52.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that it was the Kennedy's obsession with Castro

Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.64,0:03:57.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but is that the whole story?
