" thoroughly demolished Oliver Stone's film "

I have started to wonder if perhaps a lot of these incredibly stupid, easily-debunked assassination conspiracy theories are not, in fact, part of a larger campaign of disinformation.

It is a classic technique to start rumors which can be easily disproven, in order to discredit the hard truth that you do not want to come to light. Magicians call it "misdirection".

One thing I have never seen addressed - according to the Commission Report, which I read, the rifle that Oswald was supposed to use had a scope mounted on it. When that rifle was to be test fired the scope had about a quarter inch "slop" or wiggle in it mounting on the rifle. The FBI had to redrill and remount the scope in order to do the test firing.

Good point about "misdirection."

It started immediately -- from the leftist pukes. One of the main reason I hate the left is because they used the assassination to trash the emerging modern conservative movement blaming its criticism of JFK for "causing" Oswald to do it. I don't have a TV but it would not surprise me to learn that the Disney / ABC "news" digital cartoon opened with Mickey.. er, Lee Harvey reading the Dallas newspaper ads criticizing JFK and deciding to take his rifle to work that day.

Now on to a general comment. If worries about conspiracies are silly illogical, inane wastes of time why are conspiracies against the law?

Now that the Disney / ABC "news" digital cartoon proved that Oswald did it alone why keep evidence locked up? Mrs. Kennedy is no longer here to be hurt by reliving the horror. Embarass or hurt the Kennedys? Are you kidding?! With Ted Kennedy still running wild.

Release ALL the information and let's move on. It don't git no simpler.
