blog.wired.com— This won't surprise people who have been following JFK's assassination for a long time, and many disbelievers will ignore this, but this is an important confession and, hopefully, more will follow.

You mean Texans just replaced riding a mustang with driving one? =PThat said, I'd ride a horse to work if I could (and there was some way to prevent some ass from stealing her).
To those people bashing theories and this digg thread as a whole, well you clearly don't understand the point. Yes this is an almost dead topic, yes this happened many years ago, no this doesn't mean we can't talk about it. The point of digg is to view current events and develop discussion. Whether you agree or disagree with those above you, you have to consent to the foundation of digg before participating in the threads, so avalontor, please do not come on here and spray typed filth onto the thread. You have no point to make, so why type anything?
"I saw a JFK special where a 90 year old man in the same spot as Oswald with the same gun racked off about 9 rounds in 5 seconds. If this guy could do it, why couldnt Oswald?"Did he manage to hit a moving target with 2/3rds of his shots despite a difficult angle?
"I saw a JFK special where a 90 year old man in the same spot as Oswald with the same gun racked off about 9 rounds in 5 seconds. If this guy could do it, why couldnt Oswald?"I saw that documentary. First off, you're a total f**king idiot. If you're going to cite something you saw in documentary try to get at least some of it right. Number one, he didn't shoot off any rounds. He was holding an empty rifle. He wasn't even in the same spot as Oswald. He was sitting in a chair with the rifle in his arms. And what he did was pull the bolt action on the rifle back and forth a couple of times. There's a big difference between pulling the bolt of a rifle back and forth and actually shooting something. But you obviously are too stupid to realize that.
By the way: If you liked "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner, you'll love "Oswald's Tale", by Norman Mailer, ostensibly America's Greatest Living Author of fiction.
In the movie JFK, "X" hit the nail on the head when he said:"Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison, politics is power, nothing more !"Although JFK was very charasmatic, he was hated by a lot of very powerful people and groups. The hate extended to his brother RFK, the Attorney General, and to the entire Kennedy clan in general. The Kennedy's aura of "America's royal family" was largely myth. Ole man Joe Kennedy made the bulk of his fortune through bootlegging during Prohibition, and was intimately connected with gangsters. These connections proved useful when the 1960 presidential election was stolen (i.e. bought) the the help of the Chicago mafia. Remember, it was one of the closest elections in history. Unbelievably, Bobby Kennedy as Attorney General "pays back" the mafia by waging an all out war on organized crime. JFK vows to "splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind." He limits the power of the CIA under National Security Memoranda 55 and infuriates top military brass with his plan to pull out of Vietnam by 1965. The military also viewes him as soft on communism by his dealings with the Soviet Union. The assassination was a collaboration of extremely powerful interest groups wresting back power. It could only be carried out (and covered up) with the participation of those in the highest reaches of power, including the CIA and FBI. The assassination of RFK was nothing more than completing the coverup. RFK could not be allowed to become President in 1968 and have the power to expose those who were responsible for his brother's assassination.

And George G.W. Bush was allegedly a CIA agent at the time according to a letter by Hoover.

"Actually, the "Jelly Doughnut" bit is an urban legend. "No s**t, Sherlock. That's why I said "joke" in my original comment.
