New book claims to end all JFK conspiracies

Just when we thought "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner was the book to end all JFK conspiracies, along comes another book: Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Vincent Bugliosi.

There is no doubt that Mr.Bugliosi did not write his book just to make money on the publication.

Writers who want to cash in on the JFK assassination have a much greater chance to make money writing about a conspiracy rather than writing about a single bullet from the rifle of Lee Harvey Oswald (pictured).

One must have a lot of faith to believe in the one bullet version of the assassination. I believe there is just too much evidence, both actual and circumstantial, to point away from the one bullet theory.

Also, I don’t believe there is enough evidence, both actual and circumstantial to support a one-bullet theory.

I’m not sure I have enough faith to believe that one bullet could have struck JFK in the base of his neck, exit from his throat and then hit Connally in the back, shattering his fifth rib before emerging from the governor's chest, passing through his right wrist breaking several bones.

And after all that, the bullet was very conveniently found, in nearly pristine condition, on a gurney at Parkland Hospital some time after the body of the President arrived.

I have seen the Zapruder film several times on TV news magazine programs and other documentaries covering the assassination. Each time it is shown, I’m more convinced that, the way Kennedy reeled, he was struck by more than one bullet.

I also have a problem with the way the Warren commission evidence was shrouded in mystery and why Gerald Ford made a couple of changes in the final commission report after the fact which he refused to discuss.

One last comment: if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, why are all of the vital documents related to the assassination still top secret?
