Warren Commission kept in dark over meeting with Castro
November 22, 2013, 9: 36 PM

A top-level mission to interview Fidel Castro about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination 50 years ago was kept so secret that even staff members of the Warren Commission did not know it had taken place.

In interviews on the anniversary of Kennedy’s death, some of the staff say they learned of the trip only from former New York Times reporter Philip Shenon’s new book, “A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination.”

“I have no independent knowledge of it,” said Howard P. Willens, a member of the commission’s supervisory staff and now a lawyer in private practice. “If it did in fact happen during the Warren Commission’s period, I’m favorably impressed.”

Willens and four others on the staff spoke to CBS News about their work and the many criticisms that have dogged them since their report was published 10 months after the assassination. They said that the commission’s conclusions had not been seriously challenged in the last half-century, despite four official government inquiries and a flood of books accusing right-wing zealots, Communists or President Lyndon Johnson himself, and that no credible evidence has surfaced showing Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a conspiracy.

1. Irrelevant, nevertheless interesting.

The on the scene forensics during the very day already convicts Oswald as the sole shooter.

The guy was a kook. Just like almost all of the prospective assassins in the last century or so. He fit
like a glove of the loner who wanted to change the world. The problem is, they succeed in that goal too many times.

How many (putative) assassins have been lone kooks?

Reagan: Yup! Hinkley. Wanted to prove himself to Jodie Foster?
Ford: Yup! Squeaky Fromme. A former Manson acolyte.
RFK: Yup! Sirhan Sirhan.
MLK: Yup! James Earl Ray.
Hitler: Twice, both conspiracies.
Archduke Ferdinand: conspiracy.
McKinley: Yup! Leon Czolgosz.
Garfield: Yup! Charles Guiteau.
Lincoln: a known conspiracy.

I am sure there were others who fit in the mold throughout history.

I am sure we can add:

JFK: Yup! Oswald.

One can make up all the shit one wants but the forensic evidence is without doubts that Oswald fired the three known bullets on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza in Dallas and in spite of all the flapping of gums about a conspiracy, nobody has yet to present a cogent case of a single other perpetrator. The speculations are all over the map, none of which present a single narrative of what supposedly happened. The only cogent theory is what the forensics say happened that day, Oswald was the sole shooter.

I have long since given up waiting for a cogent and unified explanation of any alternative.
