I have done lots of homework also, and I’m convinced you are correct.

I believe the truth of this assassination will evolve exactly as the Lincoln assassination did. There’s very little dispute anymore that a conspiracy was traced back to the confederate intelligence at the time.

For a brief look at the latest on Lincoln, the History channel has a 1 hour segment that shows the chain of information and events.

I have seen a US 11/22/63 newspaper UPI article that was released right after the assassination before Oswald is mentioned in the media. The SS agents were interviewed and said the gunfire (automatic) was probably from the ‘Knoll’. This is what they said in print before anything was mentioned about Oswald, and they didn’t even mention gunfire from the depository!

***JFK was murdered as the result of a conspiracy and the folks responsible for the Warren Commission report ought to be held in disgrace for ever. That includes Justice Warren, President Ford, Senator Spector, et al.***

And your point is?

Conspiracy theorists love to point to initial reports with "details" not found later, as if they contain some kernels of truth that were later covered up. Anyone who's worked a breaking news story (or for that matter followed a breaking news thread on FR) knows what a load of codswallop that is.

I've reported on a few breaking news stories and watched the wires on a lot more, and I can tell you that without exception they are a Charlie Foxtrot. There's a hysterical mixture of fact, rumor, best guesses, and eyewitness reports from folks who are flipped out and wouldn't be an authoritative source under the best of circumstances.

Unless you believe that there is a conspiracy to cover up the truth that TWA flight 800 was brought down by fartman's flatulence -- a "fact" reported on CNN's air by an "eyewitness" who turned out to be one of those jagoff Howard Stern callers.
