Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong

Spy Handler writes "Researchers analyzing bullet fragments from the 1963 Kennedy assassination using new techniques say that the government's 1976 conclusion that the bullets came from only one gun (Oswald's) is wrong. 'Using new guidelines set forth by the National Academy of Sciences for proper bullet analysis, Tobin and his colleagues at Texas A&M re-analyzed the bullet evidence used by the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations, which concluded that only one shooter, Oswald, fired the shots that killed Kennedy in Dallas. The committee's finding was based in part on the research of now-deceased University of California at Irvine chemist Vincent P. Guinn. He used bullet lead analysis to conclude that the five bullet fragments recovered from the Kennedy assassination scene came from just two bullets, which were traced to the same batch of bullets Oswald owned.'"

If it's true, then those people are probably still profiting from the assassination and they should be found and imprisoned, and their ill-gotten goods taken away.

That depends on who those conspirators might be. If they are associated with the Defense Department, it could be big trouble. IMHO, this country is a lot closer to a bannana republic than most people realize.

Ah heck

based on the last election, I think that majority of the none republican have turned blue.

Sorry to break the news to you but heat does soften steel long before it actually liquefies. That is true. However, liquid steel was found in the basement of the World Trade Center weeks after 9/11. This requires explanation because most people agree that the fires in the WTC towers were not hot enough to melt steel. Food for thought it all.

Who cares?

Really. The guy's dead.

What really matters in the whole affair is how the course of history was changed as a result of Kennedy's death, not whodunit. If anybody can prove one way or the other any of the vast number of theories about the event itself, kudos.

But it won't change the fact of his death, or the results of it.

Governments are generally thrilled when an event like this comes along. It opens avenues through public fear for instilling greater control over what remains any government's greatest adversary - the very people the government governs.

The same is true of the cascade of events since 9/11.

A great deal of time can be wasted grasping at straws while ignoring what's going on in plain sight. Those buildings fell down. Big deal.

Now, we've effectively lost 6/10 of the Bill of Rights through expert manipulation of public fear. There's the real tragedy.

LOL!!!

Duh! DOH! Really? I would have never guessed that the governments own analysis was wrong. BTW, we will NEVER know the real truth.
