For those of you interested in JFK, National Geographic Channel at 9pm, "Killing Kennedy" starring Rob Lowe, I am always fascinated with the Kennedys will be watching tonight, I remember watching the news on the day he was assassinated November 22nd 1963.

Also on PBS America at the same time...

"It's 50 years since Kennedy's assassination and PBS marks the occasion with an uncontroversial, if frank, four-part documentary on his life and tragically abbreviated presidency."

I wonder if any of us will ever know the truth in our lifetime.

Was it emergency ward 10 they interrupted to break the news? 50 years where does it go

"I wonder if any of us will ever know the truth in our lifetime."

We do. He was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. I was obsessed with this when I was younger but am now satisfied that it was LHO alone who fired the shots. There was no grassy knoll shooter. There is definitely unknown info behind why Oswald shot JFK but Ruby killed him to make sure that info never became public.

[Prudie]

Well you do but there are 1000s who don't believe Oswald did it.

[Mattk]

He 100% did it, the only doubt is whether he acted alone.
He was a gunrunner for the mafia as a child and spent significant time travelling in Russia in his formative years. It will never be known whether it was for mother Russia or for the mob but seeing as Ruby topped him my money is on the mob.

He travelled to work that morning carrying a package which he claimed was curtain rods.

A man who is going to shoot the president does not buy a gun via mail order that can be easily traced to him.

A man who is going to shoot the president does not carry a large "gun shaped" parcel to work with him in the morning that anyone can see.

A man who has just shot the president does not hang around in his workplace so he is standing there when the police arrive.

A man who has just shot the president does not leave the gun (with his finger print on it) and bullets lying on the floor. It was obviously planted there.,

A man who has just shot the president does not look so calm and collected after being arrested and say he was a "patsy".

Don't you think it was an amazing coincidence he just HAPPENED to be working in a building that overlooked the route the president was going to take, in a building on a bend so the car slowed down making it easier to shoot someone.

Don't you think it is strange that it just HAPPENED to be lunchtime when the presidents car drove past, so the floor Oswald was working on was empty, everyone was a at lunch.

I do think there was some VERY strange goings on with Lee Harvey Oswald (his trips to Russia, his ability to get back in to the USA from Russia so easily, his strange pro / anti castro behaviour and much more).

But I don't think he was that bright, and I think he WAS a pasty, and only when he realised he had been set up for the JFK shooting did he rush out the building in a panic.

A sharpshooter sat at the window with a gun a shot JFK, then left the building with his gun. Another person planted the "Oswald gun" by the window.

Other people shot JFK, and Oswald was a bit player in the whole thing.

I'm with you VHG. 100% fit-up. Mafia job all over it. Can't believe anyone still thinks it was Lee Harvey-Oswald alone. Apparently there are some files stored under the American '50 year rule', which will throw some light on the whole affair, but the real evidence will never come out in my opinion.

[Mattk]

"I think he WAS a pasty"

Well I reckon he was a sausage roll.

[bibblebub]

that's just pie in the sky

Did you not see the documentary this week? I think it was just before the programme you're talking about.

We will probably never know for certain, but there was a Secret Service guy in the car following the President and he had a rifle of the same calibre as the bullets found in JFK's brain. He was seen to stand up and look back at the sound of the first shot. Then when they did the trajectory of the bullet and looked at the damage it did to his brain, they summised that this guy had accidentally shot JFK.

Gunpowder was smelt by bystanders too.
