I don't claim to have all of the answers about the Kennedy Assassination, but I do have one theory that explains the obvious coverup that happened in the wake of the assassination. My theory is that there was a Cuban component in the conspiracy to kill Kennedy, and that component became very obvious to everyone involved in investigating the assassination within the first 48 hours or so afterwards. Now they had a problem on their hands, do they let the public know that Cubans (and by proxy, Russians as well) were involved in killing Kennedy? Or do they propose some "lone-nut" theory designed to prevent public outrage that could have quite possibly led to all out nuclear war with the Russians?

Given the best of a couple of poor choices, I believe they did the right thing. This explains the obvious holes in the Warren Commission report and the obvious coverup activities that happened in the wake of the assassination, and also explains why we have normalized relations with every single Communist nation in the world with one exception, that exception being Cuba. We will not normalize relations with Cuba until Fidel Castro is cold in the ground. Strike the king, and you pay for the rest of your days. That's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

I think the single conspiracy theory is where people make their big mistake. We know from other things that have happened before and since that there's a block of the government that's desperate to "solve" high profile cases like assassinations and plane crashes. I think it's most likely that the group that killed Kennedy had little if anything to do with the group that decided Oswald would be the guy to go down for it. And there's always the lagging question: if it really was just a lonenut then why are the record sealed?

And anybody thinking big conspiracies are automatically unbelievable needs to look at the CIA declassified operations, they participated in some conspiracies much bigger than even the most fanciful outline presented by the JFK theorists. Or jump back to the OSS and checkout Paperclip.
