In reply to the discussion: 10 Facts about Lee Oswald that make 70% of Americans Wonder... [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)This is a huge subject with all kinds of potential tangents so I thought that focusing on Oswald might help keep it narrow. A proper investigation was not done and there was no trial. The autopsy was done by 2 guys with no experience and Kennedy's brain went missing along with whatever bullet frags were in it. The official autopsy photos of JFK's head don't match up with the damage we see in the Zapruder film.
Any valid theory of the assassination must account for ALL of the evidence. The WCR doesn't seem to do that. In this case, if Connally has no blood on the front of his shirt and his wrists are clearly on top of the seat at the :43 mark then he can't be hit yet. So the choice would seem to be either believe Connally and my own eyes, or believe the WCR.
Much of the WCR reads like the case against Saddam Hussein -- the "facts" get fixed around the goal of proving guilt but proper investigations don't work that way. Evidence rules out certain conclusions -- NOT: conclusions rule out certain evidence.
I find the whole period a fascinating subject and I respect all those who research and reach their own conclusions (or leanings) and I certainly enjoy respectful exchanges of information and opinions like this one with you.
