With you Fistor. Conspiracy theories in general make me laugh. Anyway, another thing I hate (yeah, I know I should put this in another thread) is the phrase co-conspirator. Anyone who says that is a moron. By definition, you cannot have a conspiracy with yourself. Therefore, a conspiracy means more than one person. You are either a conspirator or not. Co-conspirator is redundant, and it means the same thing too.

I disagree, Co means 'along with' it in no way implys that without the 'Co' it's only one. ie. co-owner..i'm a owner, but i co-own with someone else. Co-conspirator just defines that person as a fellow conspriator and not just a hired gun. |

You have to conspire with at least one other person. Hired gun, or not, anyone involved in a conspiracy is a conspiritor. Just because they were not necessarily in on the plan is not relevant. Anyway, it is just a pet peave of mine. I don't want to get the thread off on some strange tangent. Oswald did it...period, end of story. |

I hate to be the one who says this, but the country came out better with LBJ than with JFK. We were slipping down a slippery path with JFK.

I think Oswald was the only shooter, but wasn't the only person involved and "in" on the plan to kill JFK.
