As Bill Maher says about government conspiracies....

"they aren't up to it. The government can't deliver the mail."

So what happened to the spent cartridges from Oswalds rifle? How many were there?

There were three spent cartridges, on the floor and in plain sight.

This is propbably one of the only times I will ever agree with Bill Maher.

The idea of a government or CIA plot has been circulated for years. I recall in 1973 I received a newspaper hand-out from a member of the Socialist Workers Party in Chicago (yeah - the commies). I was shocked to read the CIA had been behind the entire conspiracy, planning and execution of the Kennedy assassination. I was more gullible in those days.

I don't discount conspiracy by a small group of individuals. I think Oswald was the only trigger man. As for the "magic bullet"? Who knows. Bullets can do really strange things when they hit a body or multiple bodies as the case may be. Seems highly improbably the bullet could survive with little or no damage, but a lot of improbables occur every day.

The movie, JFK, was terrible. Most things by Oliver Stone are. He had half the country part of a conspiracy.

The members of the select committee are the only ones to have reviewed ALL the evidence. They say it probably was a conspiracy. Unfortunately we can't make a decision based on all the info.

In between keeping my eye on my computer I'm watching a programme on Tv entitled 'The Iraq Commission', a forward looking debate about the future of allied forces in Iraq.
The concensus appears to be that we are now irrelevant to the situation there and has been summed as 'no longer being worth the life of a single American or British soldier!'.

GWB has no business with 'concensus'.
If he even knows the meaning of the word.

I remember my first realization that the matter was not worth a single life: Flying into Bahrain after being ordered via confidential orders. The only interest the U.S. has in the Middle East is $$$$= Oil. Bush I and II had their hands all in the situation. Clinton didn't. Are oil prices lower or higher because of either effort? Where are both Bushes from, geologically? Go figure.

I don't think so.

Check the history of Iraq and its formation RS. I don't think that's a valid comment.
