Too bad that Hale Boggs who was on the Warren Commission and wanted to re-open an investigation AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #27
Boggs was the most outspoken critic among the three dissenting members dflprincess Oct 2013 #45
The first odd thing was that the police, FBI, et al immediately knew that (1) Oswald was the shooter AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #50
Another unexplainable thing was why the Secret Service agents were called off Nay Oct 2013 #79
Simple, they weren't called off. BootinUp Oct 2013 #83

Yep, stop looking for anyone else if an employer is reportedly missing one employee. Good call. AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #155
You raised the question "how did the police know it was Oswald so quickly" grantcart Oct 2013 #156
Not true. Anyone can see the questions at #50: "How did they know that he was the only one involved? AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #158
