I apologize for offending, aten.

It's just that the conspiracy theories with the JFK killing are so varied, wide-ranging, and intertangled, that I honestly believe the whole thing approaches farce. Several commentators last week pointed out what I think is an operative element here: the yearning for some to think that The Great can only fall by way of A Great Plot.

Myself, I believe that Occam's Razor often applies in history, and that very much in life is prosaic, rather than epic. As with Booth (and for that matter, with Czogolcz, Fromme, Hinckley, and Guiteau) I think a screwed up malcontent like Oswald is entirely capable of wreaking such sad mayhem.
