Jim Garrison

"I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security."

"Until as recently as November of 1966, I had complete faith in the Warren Report. Of course, my faith in the Report was grounded in ignorance, since I had never read it."

"It's rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way."

"I derive no pleasure from prosecuting a man, even though I know he's guilty do you think I could sleep at night or look at myself in the mirror in the morning if I hounded an innocent man?"
