How cool!

I will admit that the Warren Commision only fueled doubt by screwing up parts of the investigation and missing certain facts, but as has been said that doesn't prove any conspiracy. The main thing is that here we are 40 years later and there isn't a single theory that can beat out Oswald acting alone. Not that anything can be concluded from that, but it does put a damper on some of the conspiracy theories in a way. And until something is legitimately proven that there was a conspiracy, the verdict stands.

Remember, it is not up to those who believe Oswald acted alone to substantiate the claim, it is up to the conspiracy theorists to prove their claim. it is analogous to the moon hoax; those who believe it was faked must prove it, not the other way around. Pointing out gaps or flaws in the Warren Commission in no way proves a conspiracy.
