    i hope you were kidding because that would be a pretty ignorant statement if not.

    Sorry, Colton, but a Discovery Channel show replicated it almost to a T with a recreation. I was a skeptic till I saw it happen in super slow motion.

    She probably wants to know as badly as anybody.

    Whether or not she actually takes a position in the Obama administration, she's gonna have a lot of pull -- who knows, maybe she'll ask Barack to release the 2029 material.

    My own guess -- I've read most of the "official" material and a lot of the unofficial stuff:

    1) Oswald did the shooting, all by himself.

    2) He was a dupe/puppet of other agents -- individuals or institutions. Thus the need for Oswald to be gotten rid of.

    A little older. My mother was involved in politics on the local level then and I would hear my parents discussing Specter.

    Tony: We'll just have to agree to disagree, sir.

    What a TV show says means nothing to me.

    It's not what they "said," it's what they did -- a replication of the shot through mannequins made to resemble real humans as far as bone, muscle and tissue. Took the shot from the same angle and distance through the two mannequins placed exactly where the bodies were. Through super-slow motion you could see the bullet do exactly what the original did.

    I can't find the exact video clip from that show of the replication of the shot, but here's the Wikipedia entry on it.

    Colton,

    One of the biggest fallacies surrounding the debunking of the Magic Bullet Theory is that most people put Connolly directly in front of JFK. When you do that, it skews the layout to the point that the Magic Bullet would be impossible. When you correctly put Connolly at an angle, you see how the Magic Bullet happened.

    And people say it can't happen because the bullet was in such pristine condition.

    In actuality, it wasn't pristine. The bullet did get flattened out (not truly round).

    I'd say if she wanted to know everything there is to know - she already does.

    I'm ashamed to admit I don't know enough about it to answer this thread.

    You know, we are not even talking about this today if some guy wasn't trying out his sweet camera.
