"The Warren Commission was correct."

Only if you're a gullible dupe.

This perfectly illustrates the pointlessness of any discussion of the Kennedy assassination. It's impossible to have a conversation, or a debate, because it's a religious issue. It's an article of faith for some people that there was some conspiracy, so any piece of information that would tend to point to Oswald being the lone killer has to be faked or false or misinterpreted, and anyone that believes Oswald acted alone has got to be a "gullible dupe."

On another thread, Veronica essentially said the same thing. My response to her was the following:

It was physically impossible for it to have been the work of just one man. Consider the physics- look at the Zabruder film. Even better, try to fire three bullets from a bolt-action rifle, and fire accurately over that distance at a moving target. I have friends who are professionals at such skills, and even they can't do it....

Therefore, since Oswald could not have done it alone, it is, by definition, a conspiracy. That you fail to recognize the realities of what I have told you, doesn't mean I'm crazy- just that you are uneducated as to the facts.

"...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Absolutely. I think, while it is possible that LBJ might have told Warren not to emphazie anything that might lead to nuclear war with the Soviets, that does not affect what actually happened in Texas.

And while the Warren Commsion got most of it right, they made a few mistakes. for instance, by assuming the second shot was a miss, they came up with a total elasped time of 4.6-5.3 seconds.

more careful analysis suggest the first shot (missed) was at Zapruder frame 161, which gives a total elapse time of 8.3 seconds.

The really weird thing. The only peoples still sticking to the Warren Commission 4.6 seconds are the Conspiratists. (It seems that they believe that Warren got something right after all)
