By the way, didn't E. Howard Hunt recently confess to who was behind the JFK Assassination? It was an article that I think was published in Rolling Stone, and it was revealed recently. See (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/13893143/the_last_confessions_of_e_howard_hunt/print) --Robert W King 14:33, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
- Wow, that article is long. I will read it later and may add relevant stuff on the article. According to Wikipedia summary of this confession, apparently Johnson did it, which is what I have thought about. Yi Zhe Wu 15:13, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
- Whoa! LBJ? And Cuban hit men? Who knew? Whatever. We'll never know. --Thomas Simmons 20:18, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
- The Howard Hunt confession just added on to the article. Thanks for the information, Robert. Yi Zhe Wu 15:09, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
Contradiction between first paragraph and "Assassination" section
In the first paragraph you say he was "supposedly assassinated by....". In the latter second you say "he was assassinated by...." This should be consistent. Hayford Peirce 15:45, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
- The wording has been changed in the latter second. Thank you for pointing that out. Yi Zhe Wu 17:37, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
- (1) "However, many any number of contradictory and unfounded conspiracy theories circulated for decades." Should this be in the past tense? "Circulated" suggests "case closed", does it not? Perhaps it could be rewritten to suggest "still circulate" or "case still open"? (2) And should there be reference in this section to the Congressional Committee of the late 1970s (reference needed) which Did Admit that there probably Was a conspiracy?
