JFK assassination files released today
For decades, the existence of secret government files linked to U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination has helped fuel conspiracy theories that others besides Lee Harvey Oswald were involved.

For "National Security" reasons some files still cannot be released and others must be heavily redacted... what the hell could harm national security in such old files I wonder...
Great, time for more conspiracies.
The President of the United States was murdered 53 years, 11 months, and five days ago, changing the course of world history for good or ill. Pretty sure whatever conspiracies there were around that were back then, not now with routine document releases.
Vincent Bugliosi's tome on the assassination, Reclaiming History, has received good reviews. However, it has 1,632-pages. If you can get through that, you're a much better person than I. He argues that Oswald acted alone. His next book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, is more readable. It's too bad that Bugliosi died a couple of years ago. I'd be interested in his take on all this.
Here's a "nice" quote from the web site http://www.electoral-vote.com/ "Of course, given that the conspiracy theorists are already declaring that the Las Vegas shootings never happened, there is no amount of evidence that will actually silence the JFK conspiracy theories."
I don't mind a little false equivalence here and there, but this is just tacky.
