JFK Conference: James DiEugenio made clear how Foreign Policy changed after November 22, 1963

142. Your problem is that you give way too much credence to little tidbits of opinion

and no weight to the mountains of evidence presented in the WCR. In your JFK CT-obsessed world, everybody that had anything to do with the WCR and the official investigations is a conspirator.

BTW - you don't bother mentioning that the HSCA confirmed the findings of the WCR. According to the HSCA:

• Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy. The second and third shots Oswald fired struck the President. The third shot he fired successfully killed the President.

• The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that the Soviet Government was not involved in the assassination of Kennedy.

•The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that the Cuban Government was not involved in the assassination of Kennedy.

•The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that anti-Castro Cuban groups, as groups, were not involved in the assassination of Kennedy, but that the available evidence does not preclude the possibility that individual members may have been involved.

•The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that the national syndicate of organized crime, as a group, was not involved in the assassination of Kennedy, but that the available evidence does not preclude the possibility that individual members may have been involved.

•The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that the Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Central Intelligence Agency were not involved in the assassination of Kennedy.

•Agencies and departments of the U.S. Government performed with varying degrees of competency in the fulfilment of their duties. President Kennedy did not receive adequate protection. A thorough and reliable investigation into the responsibility of Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination was conducted. The investigation into the possibility of conspiracy in the assassination was inadequate. The conclusions of the investigations were arrived at in good faith, but presented in a fashion that was too definitive.

The ONLY thing you CTists have to hang your hats on from the HSCA was their entirely erroneous view that a fourth shot was fired. That lie was vehemently disputed at the time by the NAS and others, and that has been proven to be absolutely false in the intervening years. What's really needed is for surviving members of the HSCA to issue a corrective to its bungled acceptance of the 4th bullet fantasy and deal with the mountain of evidence that has rendered that particular fantasy moot. Not that that would stop you CTists. You'd just claim they were all in on the conspiracy too.
