SabiDojo, read that book. It proves LHO was the lone shooter. He was a nut case. Spent 2 years in the USSR.

You understand that those of us with experience handling firearms are highly skeptical of the official story - of the rapidity of the shots, the relatively low quality of the alleged weapon, the complications of the site of the operation, the relative implausibility of the "magic bullet" theory and other strange coincidences that befell people involved with the assassination, alleged witnesses, the assassin of the assassin, - just a whole host of irregularities surrounding the whole thing.

"proves" is just off the table because of this. I'm not saying a reasonable person cannot believe that LHO acted alone - and there is evidence to support this conclusion.

But, it is pretentiousness at its height to pretend that a reasonable person cannot believe alternative theories that also have evidentiary support - suggesting this could have been an operation by rogue elements of the CIA, U.S. organized crime, or some combination. For that matter, that cannot be proven either.

On your broader point, I agree with you that JFK can be considered largely fictional and based - almost solely - on Garrison's perspective and account from his book, "On The Trail of the Assassins".
