The Rose Cherami story is a staple of conspiracy theorists - her supposed foreknowledge of the JFK assassination has become almost a founding myth. And no one is quite sure what she really said back in 1963.
James DiEugenio in his book
Destiny Betrayed claims that Dr. Wayne Owen [sic] was one of the people who heard Rose Cherami talk about the assassination: (page 206) The fact that she predicted the assassination in advance spread through the hospital.

Destiny Betrayed and in
Probe Magazine (July-August, 1977), has made the claim that Jim Garrison s offices were wiretapped by the FBI. Before we get to dealing with the allegation, it is worth pointing out that Garrison long believed the FBI was listening in on his conversations.
