In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]nyquil_man
(1,443 posts)The Committee has given you plenty of grist for your conspiracy mill, but what do you make of its conclusions?
The HSCA concluded that Oswald fired every shot which struck Kennedy.
The HSCA further concluded that organized crime was not involved. They allowed for individual members acting on their own initiative.
Same for the CIA and anti-Castro elements.
The finding of two shooters was, as I'm sure you know, based on dictabelt evidence. It was the Committee's belief that someone had fired a single shot at Kennedy, from the grassy knoll, which missed.
That's it. Without the dictabelt evidence, the HSCA would have drawn the same conclusions as the Warren Commission. Even with the dictabelt evidence, there is only Oswald and another shooter, yet to be determined, who could not be linked to organized crime, anti-Castro elements, or the CIA.
Let me guess, though. The HSCA didn't dig deep enough?
