Salon: "the Warren Commission... was stacked with RFK’s political enemies"

24. No it's not. It's the way to determine what is true and what is false.

For example, some people think there was a second gunman at the grassy knoll who shot JFK in the head. Very few CTers are rational/honest enough to accept that the forensic evidence conclusively disproves this.

Maybe you are one of the few CTers that accept the forensic evidence, and the inevitable conclusion that Oswald and Oswald alone shot JFK. In that case, congratulations. But if you look around, you will find that most CTers are not so rational.

As far as a conspiracy theory involving Oswald as the only shooter, the best we can say about that is that there is zero evidence of it, and there is strong evidence against involvement of the usual suspects (CIA, KGB, Castro, anti-Castro, Mafia). Claiming that Oswald as a CIA agent, which is outlandish speculation completely at odds with the evidence, is not quite as absurd as claiming that there was a second gunman.
