Now compare *that* with Charles Brehm's interview with the media taken on 11/22/63, minutes after the attack: ------------------------------------------------------------ CB: Unfortunately I was probably 15 to 20 feet away from the President when it happened to him … A: Tell us exactly what you saw sir. CB: He was coming down the street, and my 5 year old boy and myself were by ourselves on the grass there on Commerce Street, and I asked Joe to wave to him and Joe waved and I waved, and the man, the man ….. (starts to sob) A: That's alright sir. CB: (Regains his composure) As he was waving back, he was, he was, the shot rang out and he slumped down in his seat and his wife reached up toward him, as he was slumping down and the second shot went off and it just knocked him down ... in his seat. A: Two shots? CB: Two shots. A: Did you see the man who did this? CB: No sir, I did not see the man who did it. I, I, all I, all I did was look in the man's face when he was shot there and saw this expression on his face and he grabbed himself and slide, and the second one, whenever it went, why I'm positive it had hit him, I hope it didn't, but I'm positive it had hit him, and he went all the way down in the car. Then they speeded up and I didn't know what was going on so I just grabbed the boy and fell on him and hoped there wasn't a maniac around. I'm sorry, I can't help you more, but I won't forget it. ------------------------------------------------------------ Brehm's recollection apparently changed two days later (to three shots) when he spoke with the FBI.
