I used to believe in the 'conspiracy', but after having watched a special on TV recently which more than adequately explained everything, and showed how Garrison twisted the facts, I no longer believe in it.
He claimed that Oswald was a mediocre shooter at best, and w/o showing any evidence to support that. His marksman records are still intact and they show that he was an expert. 59-60 silhouette bulls eyes one time and 60-60 another. I was in the AF 1966-70, and qualified as an expert on the same type of targets. 58-60. In my last year of service, I was asked to be on the base rifle competition squad, which I turned down. Also, an OLD FBI man demo'd that he, at his octogenarian age, could fire three shots in that allotted time, and hit the mark on all three. Just because some Marine can't do it, that doesn't mean no one can.
They also demo'd that the killer shot was from behind, and not how Garrison presented it.
As for Castro ordering the hit. He was already 'soiling his armor' that the US was going to invade Cuba. Do you actually think that he would take the risk of being invaded by knocking off JFK, because as demonstrated, LBJ had no restraint of not going to war.
Oh yes.....we really did land on the moon.

Whether Oswald was the only shooter or not, I still think the mob was involved at some level. I think Ruby was sent by the mob to kill Oswald before he could talk. Ruby was known to have mob ties and it´s too perculiar that he just happend to come by the police station that day, and just happend to have a gun on him. The assasination is also a topic on the alamofilm site. I´ve written some comments about mob involvement there, if anybody is interested...

Alot of people say that after viewing the PBS special about Oswald, that it totally changed their mind and that they no longer believe in a conspiracy. I will continue believing until I see this doc...

Check this link out! Read the interview, book and testament pieces near the top! The testament is an interview Saint John Hunt did with his father E. Howard Hunt in early 2004! The conspiracy theories are many and I lean toward this one! Interesting! www.saintjohnhunt.com/ TED COLE....aka....Cole_blooded

Davy, the PBS documentary is a must see. I stopped believing in the conspiracy after seeing it. Hopefully it will be replayed,

Former FBI Agent Who Investigated Oswald Dies Funeral Services Held in Kansas City Area
POSTED: Saturday, June 18, 2011 UPDATED: 7:49 pm CDT June 18, 2011
KANSAS CITY, MO -- The FBI agent who many blamed for not investigating Lee Harvey Oswald more closely before President John F. Kennedy's assassination has died.
Funeral services for James P. Hosty Jr. were held Saturday in the Kansas City suburb of Roeland Park, Kan.
McGilley and Hoge Johnson County Memorial Chapel said on its website that Hosty died June 10 of cancer at Kansas City Hospice House in Kansas City, Mo. He was 86.
Many questioned Hosty's investigation of Oswald. But Hosty said in a 2003 interview with The Kansas City Star that there was nothing he could have done to prevent the assassination given what he knew at the time.
He was appointed to help lead the FBI's post-assassination investigation and later wrote the book "Assignment: Oswald."
