Ye gods. Re-reading this not-so-old-thread has me baffled. The 'reasoning' of several people that arrives at such a different destination than mine is a puzzlement.

This paragraph, for instance, to my mind is a veritable mish mash of possibilities and improbabilities: "...the Warren Commission would have been formed for one purpose only: to legitimize a false or partially false story for the purposes of a coverup, in order to satisfy and calm a very alarmed public, and in order to protect the guilty. Governments quite frequently form official investigatory commissions for exactly that purpose, to hide things and to cover various people's asses, because governments often do not want the public to know the whole story behind a traumatic event (if that story would compromise people in high places or create a domestic crisis)."

Surely, he jests.

I would add: Whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy, he certainly thought he did.
