Warren (Commission) Was Right - The JFK case should be closed

What about the files which are sealed till 2025, time to release them also to really close the case.

[alloysteel]

The incident in Dallas forty years ago may have been extensively investigated, but only a paltry few details have ever been revealed, and those seem only to add to the ambiguity. No conclusive statement has ever been issued that would be satisfactory to more than a few people. The involvement of Lee Harvey Oswald is not questioned, for the most part. But many interesting leads that indicate he may not have been operating alone have mysteriously never been followed up on, or clarified.

The "lone gunman" theory was flawed then, and never proven. A negative proof is nearly impossible to substantiate. However, it is possible to conceal many bits of positive proof if there is incentive to do so.

Elbie Jay was never fully cleared. Nor was Fidel Castro.

WARREN COMMISSION WAS WRONG-LBJ KILLED JFK

Hillary Clinton secretly doesn't care whether she's on the democrat ticket as pres or vice pres.

If Dean (God forbid) would win the presidency with Hillary as his vice-president, I'd give him five months before he discovered the job was too much for him and his body would turn up in a park someplace with park rangers trying to decide how he shot himself in the head with his big toe stuck in the trigger guard.

Given the best evidence, it is difficult to refute the main conclusions of the Warren Commission: that the man who murdered President Kennedy was Lee Harvey Oswald, and that there was no conspiracy, foreign or domestic, that brought JFK down. Forty years later, that judgment stands.

Then why are the files "sealed" until 2039?

Obviously, there's something to hide. Probably LBJ's involvment....

Wrong.

Putting aside everything else, I learned something last night during the ABC special. That he had made an attempt on some general a few months before. He missed that shot. Where did he make it from? Was it less than 200 yards? According to the report last night he was almost perfect from 200 yards. I was just wondering how he could miss a walking target but a few months later could hit a target in a moving vehicle

Free publicity and sympathy.

Kennedys = Victims

I'll be glad when this $&*%ing week is over.

Sorry, my smiley is on the fritz.

[Shooter 2.5]

If you researched instead of asking questions on the internet, you would get your answer.

His bullet hit the window frame.

[BigBobber]

Let's review the accuracy of Oswald's shots at Kennedy's HEAD one more time.

One shot missed completely.

One shot (probably non-fatal) was to the upper back.

One fatal shot barely hit in the upper right part of the skull. Another inch to the right and it would have missed.

One fatal shot out of three attempts. Dump the idea this guy had to be a great marksman.

[Independentamerican]

Have to agree with everyone here. Alot of interesting info on the history channel this week huh :-) Is it true that his brains were (stolen) from the National Institute of History ??

[DustyMoment]

"Did the commission prove with reasonable certainty that Oswald acted alone?"

Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!!!!

The most absurb conclusion to come out of the Warren Commission was the SINGLE BULLET THEORY. There is not a credible ballistics or forensics expert in the world who can or will buy into that ludicrous nonsense.

Oswald was a good marine who was picked as an operative, told to play the part of the communist to infiltrate Cuba and eliminate Castro. But they never intended to use him to eliminate Castro, they intended to use him as a patsy to a coup. He played his part perfectly and therefore made a good scapegoat. I'm glad the truth is being revealed now about LBJ. Although LBJ wasn't the only one involved, obviously, but LBJ was the only one in on the conspiracy that did it for power and hate, not for his country (besides the mafia shooters, of course). One of the biggest crimes in this was that they sullied the name of Oswald, who was a good marine who loved his country.

O-Kay. that's it. Everybody can go home now.

Is it 2039?, I thought it was 2025. Just that much longer to wait for additional data.

I can't stand Peter Jennings but I have to say he did a good, even-handed job on the ABC special last night. Among other JFK profiteers, he demolished Oliver Stone, and that's a good thing.

Funny thing about it is that from the same copy of NRO, is this article:

This Week's Thought
Gerald Posner: on conspiracy theories

"The notion that a misguided sociopath had wreaked such havoc made the crime seem senseless and devoid of political significance. By concluding that JFK was killed as the result of an elaborate plot, there is the belief he died for a purpose, that a powerful group eliminated him for some critical issue....

"Books and movies promoting conspiracy theories have reinforced and expanded the early public doubts. Today, the Warren Report is almost universally derided, mostly by people who have never read it. The debate is no longer whether JFK was killed by Lee Oswald acting alone or as part of a conspiracy -- it is instead, which conspiracy is correct?...

"The only casualty is truth, especially in a society where far too many people are content to receive all their knowledge on an important issue from a single article or a three-hour movie."

--GERALD POSNER, Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK (New York: Oxford Random House, 1993), pp. xiv-xv.

Is this considered equal time?

You support the Warren Commission report like it was personal. Did you have a family member in Dallas on Nov 22, 1963, perhaps?
