    You can tell by the opening remarks of this "gentleman" just where his special interests lie. According to him, it's the devilish conspiracy terrorists who were constantly pushing their insidious rhetoric at the innocent American people so that sooner or later the public was duped. What was the original Warren Commission report... chopped liver?

    The Bug is briliant, but even his arguments don't convince me that Lee Harvey acted totally independently! I also enjoyed, "And The Sea Will Tell," his closing argument was genius, but i still think Jennifer duped him.

    The agreed upon history still begs the question, 'why should Ruby kill Oswald?'

    I was in Dallas a few years ago and visited Dealy Plaza. I was struck by how small the place is. The distance from the road where JFK was hit and the grassy knoll is short. Anybody shooting from there would have been noticed immediately. It was not. People noted shots from behind (the book conservatory) not from the grassy knoll. People would have reacted to shot or shots from the knoll, they did not.

    I enjoyed listening to Vincent Bugliosi's argument that the JFK assasination was carried out by a lone gunman. Even though I don't readily believe the conspiracy theories, I also still don't believe that Oswald was the lone gunman. Even Bugliosi admits that Oswald was a bad shot and not very reliable. So how could Oswald have pulled off such a feat with a bolt-action rifle from such an angle on a fast moving motorcade? I still think there were other people involved.

    The answer to the question "Why should Ruby kill Oswald is answered in this video interview with Mr. Bugliosi: www.fora.tv/reclaiminghistory

    Peter if you would just read the bugliosi book or the Warren report you would have NO doubt that Oswald did it. First of all. He said Oswald was a good shot. Oswald and Charles Whitman were sharpshooters in the Marines. Whitman was able to kill 17 people with his M1 carbine rifle from distances up to 500 years from the top of the tower of the University of Texas, much higher and further than Oswald who was only 60 feet up and 88 yards away. If you look straight out from the sixth floor its a straight shot down Elm street and the limo was only going 11 miles an hour. Not a tough shot by any means. Read the book get the evidence and you will see no doubt
