A student at Cornell University, he studied the
Warren Commission to know how it worked internally. He got the right to question some of its members.
In his thesis, he showed the lack of interest of most commission members, their rivalries and internal feuds... Even better : he rejected the Commission's conclusions, considering they were not valid.
He said that
Wesley J. Liebeler tried to awaken the critical mind of his colleagues, but that
J. Lee Rankin was doing all he could to annihilate his efforts.
