CONSPIRACY theorists are buzzing about John Kerry's connection to Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassina tion. While no one in the lunatic fringe has gone so far as to suggest Kerry helped kill Kennedy — yet — they make much of the fact that a cousin of Kerry's, Michael Paine, was a close friend of Oswald who fre quently had the assassin as a house guest. Paine even stored the rifle Oswald used to shoot Kennedy at his house. Paine's mother, Ruth Forbes, and Kerry's mother, Rosemary Forbes, were cousins.[snip]
...according to documents released under the JFK Documents Act, Paine's sister-in-law and father-in-law were both closely connected with the CIA.

Is this a doctored photograph? I see someone who looks familiar in this photo!
Strange. I really expected Kerry to be related to Geateau, the assassin of McKinley.
Michael Paine's brother and Ruth Paine's father worked for the Agency for International Development, which allegedly had some CIA ties, though I'm not sure how close of a connection that is--Jim Garrison was the one who originally pushed this connection, so I take it accordingly with a big grain of salt (see Michael Paine). More certainly and directly, the Paines were connected with the ACLU and some other left-wing groups: Testimony Of Michael R. Paine. Interestingly, I found that some of the same left-wing groups Oswald was hanging around in New Orleans later showed up in the FBI files on the New Orleans VVAW. No particular theory to go with that, just an observation FWIW.
The man behind the picket nose.........now the whole world knows who the booger is !
He was in Cambodia.
That Friday afternoon current U.S. Senator John Kerry was playing soccer for Yale during a grudge match against Harvard.

Are there eyewitnesses other than Kerry himself?
