>>Unless you have some solid evidence to the contrary, I submit that your previous suggestion that his work in Intelligence gave him the opportunity to view footage taken in concentration camps is too absurd even to warrant consideration.

Actually the fact that he viewed war footage and that of concentration camps is well-documented:

At Fort Roach, I became one of the first Americans to discover the full truth about the horrors of Nazism. One of our jobs was to prepare classified films about the progress of the war to be shown to members of the general staff in Washington. As a result, we handled a lot of classified footage taken by combat cameramen around the world that was never seen by the public.

During the final months of the war, we began receiving secret Signal Corps films showing the liberation of Hitler's death camps and they engraved images on my mind that will be there forever.


- An American Life

Morris recounted that in the PBS documentary on Reagan and his recent book.

"Military Intelligence -- the prototypical oxymoron" covers a multitude of sins. During the WWII and the Korean War the Marine Corps classified scout-snipers in amphibious reconnaisance as "intelligence man -- 0231." It was a joke, of course. Anyone who was dumb enough to ask for intelligence duty got to swim ashore and shoot at the enemy before anyone else arrived.
