trust your govt.....
go back to sleep now...
it was the lone gunman....
I apologive for my previous post; I reacted from the heart (I had it pulled as it was over the top).

Now, on the subject of 'your govt' that day - it was in the form of the Dallas Police Department - officers that day put their lives on the line in finding the culprit, Oswald, and attempting to apprehend him - ONE of those officers that day paid for that effort with his life (Officer JD Tippet).

The detectives working that case (JD Tippet's murder) and the Kennedy Assassination (it wasn't a federal crime to shot the presient at that time) have said that they "had enough evidence to convict Lee Harvey Oswald and get the death penalty" - there were NO DOUBTS in their minds who shot JFK ...

I know this won't matter to those who believe the WC etc. But just a few minutes ago, I was listening to phone tapes on CSPAN, made just days after the shooting. One of them was between Eugene Rostow, the Dean of Yale Law, and Bill Moyers, at that time aide to LBJ.

Rostow advised that in the face of the American people already not believing the Dallas PD that a commission should be set up to investigate the shooting.

There were already questions about the Dallas PD in those early days. This is not to say that most of them weren't doing the best they could, but there were massive problems recognized from the start, and that shouldn't be ignored.

I'll wait now for someone to shoot this down.

That's great folks, but may I point out that Oswald never
went to trial and was never convicted of anything!

There's no doubt that Oswald shot JFK. Granted.

The question us "kooks" might be excused for asking is whether he acted alone (there are both eyewitness accounts and physical evidence which bring this assertion into serious question), and, if not, who might have inspired, assisted, paid, or compelled him to do it.

My belief (and I'm a lot less interested in this mess than I am in the Clinton-era scandals and "conspiracies") is that the Mob, or an element of the Florida Mob had him killed because RFK was going after them so aggressively.

It does make sense if you consider the tape of that Goomba Marcello bragging about how "they" had managed to pull the whole thing off to a friend.

It's also interesting that a Mob-connected club owner would murder Oswald shortly after his arrest isn't it? Jack Ruby, whatever else he might have been, was no true-blue JFK worshipper blinded by his overwhelming grief. *sob*

Come on.

I saw the interviews with two eyewitnesses last night (Tippet murder) who claimed they saw the killer. Their descriptions of the man they saw were almost completely opposite. A decent defense lawyer would have had a field day with that crime.
