[Shooter 2.5]

Kennedy was hit one inch to the right of his spine, 5 1/2 inches below his Mastoid Process by a 161 grain bullet going 2000 feet a second from 44 yards away.

That computer angle bothers me since the bullet exited sort of mid-right up of the head rather than say through the front. Of course-factors like the head's position and the tendency for weak bullets to zip around also may explain it.

I think if there was a concpiracy - it was to use Oswald alone. Maybe

Posner did say there was a concpiracy-but it existed to cover up agency foul ups Posner says. What if it was to cover up teh fact that Oswald was linked to all those spooks? What if Oswald, being a small man-heard all this talk of killing off Kennedy by his spook handlers who used him for dirty work and decided Hey! I will make make myself a big man in their eyes by doing what they wish they could do? Oswald probably thought - they would rescue me in the end! After the killing I am sure the spooks paniced and covered up all links to Oswald-maybe even sending in Ruby to shut him up.

What I am saying is it is possible the Oswald was the lone gun nut-but this lone nut was a spook asset that probably was the first recorded case of (or covered up as the case may be) "blow-back". Osama Bin Laden was such a case of a spook asset going rogue, so it has happened before.

What do you all think? Remember Posner says there was a concpiracy-to cover up the agency foul ups but that is as far as he is willing to take it.

If I am right, and mastoid is just about even with one's ear lobe (?) how does your comment fit with his grabbing his neck less than half that far below that point, and with his also being hit either in back or front of the head?

Also, if 5.5 inches below mastoid, where did it exit or stop?
