Simpson, Romerstein & Loftus
::The thrust of ''The Death of James Forrestal'' by Cornell Simpson is that he was killed by Communist elements, probably including Niles at the White House. (Niles helped Truman get support for the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan and NATO to fight Communism). Other conspiracy theorists argue Forrestal was killed by Zionist elements, probably including Niles at the White House. (actually Forrestal had left office and was in a mental hospital, and was not in a policy role at all.) (see http://www.dcdave.com/article4/021110.html for the crackpot conspiracy theories) [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 00:19, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

:::None of the original text uses Cornell Simpson as a source, it's on the further reading list (I'm not sure where that was refered from). Do you have a source for your synopsis? [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 00:27, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

:::So the link you provide directly quotes Simpson's interview with Henry Forestal, James brother. Henry believe's, we are told, James was murdered. Then in encapsulated form we are given Simpson's view Niles most likely had something to do with it.
Romerstein says Whitakker Chamber's told the FBI Niles had a gay affair in 1934 with someone Chamber's knew bla bla bla. [http://books.google.com/books?id=mVpWH51F7toC&pg=PA180&dq=davis+niles%2Bromerstein] Seems we'd need the orignal text gauge it's real significance.
:::What about John Loftus as a source? Are you familiar with his telling of Forestal's death? [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 00:42, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
