Before the BBC docu last night I was 95% it was Oswald. Now it’s 99.9999999999999999% It could have been a conspiracy. Maybe a pink unicorn was involved 😉 ---

Oswald’s brother provides an [account](http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20031122_678.html) that is even more arbitrary and depressing: "The reason Lee went after the president is because of opportunity and no other. If he wasn’t working where he was working or if the president’s car wasn’t going by there at that particular time, it wouldn’t have happened. It wasn’t a master plan or anything. " ---

Disclaimer: I have not cared to watch Tom or Peter tell me all about the assasination again. So this is pure, unadulterated Babbington babble. Oswald alone…no one on the grassy knoll. But I don’t think it was all his idea. He just pulled the trigger; Jack Ruby killed him to shut him up. That’s what I think, and no one is talking anymore, anyway. You can analyze the tapes, watch J.F.K, until you get an aneurism, but no one is ever going to know for sure. Now Lincoln, on the other hand…but that’s another thread. ---

I don’t believe LHO acted alone. Many people have said that there is no credible evidence for a conspiracy. I feel the evidence given to me by the government in dribs and dabs over forty years is not credible either. So I don’t believe the governement, so I don’t believe in the lone gunman.
