Thing I learned today from @jkirchick "Secret City": that the first and most important of the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories - devised by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison - was a wild fantasy that Kennedy had fallen victim to a murderous homosexual cabal. — PolitiTweet.org

So remember Burchett. Remember the US pilots of the Korean War tortured into false confessions by a communist regime. Be warned - and be mindful of the many latter-day Burchetts who copy his deceits, without any of his derring-do. END — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Burchett died in 1983 in communist Bulgaria, his home by then. I am told that he remains something of a hero in North Korea. Nothing can efface his intrepidity in Hiroshima in 1945. Still - nobody should want to be like Burchett. 11/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

And after all, in the era of social media trolling, we've seen abundant examples of people who put their voices at the service of communist and fascist regimes, not because they are paid or compromised, but for ideology, vanity, or malice. Maybe Burchett was one such. 10/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

It remains murky to this day whether Burchett was a literal foreign agent. In 1969, a KGB defector named Burchett as a spy that defector had run. Burchett lost a subsequent libel case. But the defector had credibility problems of his own, so who knows. 9/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

I think of Burchett when I see writers in the West today reporting Russian propaganda about alleged Ukrainian germ warfare plots. It's a familiar lie, brought only very slightly up to date. The authors of the lie are looking for their own Wilfred Burchetts to support them. 8/x — PolitiTweet.org
