Re: Moon landing Hoax

["Paul O. Johnson" <pojhome@SWBELL.NET>]

Hugh finds it hard to believe that the feds can keep a secret for 30 years.
He has put his finger on the crux of many conspiracy theories, including the
CIA being behind the JFK assassination and the USAF keeping the real
explanation of UFOs secret. Having served in the CIA for 20 years, I have
first hand evidence that Liddy/Franklin was right. That agency itself, and
especially a group of federal agencies, could never maintain the secrecy of
even small operations, much less a large,complex one, for so long.
