6. Just a guess. But the 'mainstream' candidates are so
calculated about everything, I figured it was DK or Gravel.

12. At this point it is Biden or Dodd.
I'll guess Dodd by flipping a coin.

16. PLEASE don't tell me Biden! :-)
Dodd is a good buddy of Ted Kennedy's, so he couldn't possibly believe it....?

18. I think Ted Kennedy is a naive lone-nut believer
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 02:35 AM by antiimperialist
But that doesn't mean it is or isn't Dodd.

29. Yeah - what would that naive babe-in-the-woods Kennedy know about his brother's assassination?

30. Being his brother doesn't make him an expert
Bad logic.
Wanna talk about the evidence?

17. My guess (assuming this belief has ever been voiced in public)
is that it's one of the senators ignored by the whore media, because you wouldn't want the possibility of a President who just might open a REAL investigation into the assassination.

So I guess that leaves Dodd and Biden. And with all the time Biden has had on TV over the years, I don't remember hearing anything about that.

By process of elimination, it would be Dodd.

19. The answer
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 02:34 AM by antiimperialist
I remain convinced that the preponderance of the evidence supports the finding of the committee that a gunman fired from the grassy knoll.


and


I voted against the adoption of the "Summary of Findings and Recommendations" by the Select Committee on Assassinations. I did so because I could not agree with the committee's first finding which reads, "Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at President John F. Kennedy. The second and third shots he fired struck the President. The third shot he fired killed the President."


Separate Remarks of Hon. Christopher J. Dodd Dissenting from the Final Report of the Select Committee on Assassinations
http://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/select-committee-report/part-4.html

Dodd and Kerry later helped open the JFK Assassinations Review Board in the 90's.

21. Interesting.
It might have been more fun for you if the trivia had been posted when more than 20 of us were running around the site. :-)

It's a shame that none of us will ever know for sure what happened on that day. All of the manipulation and mishandling of the investigation at the time has ensured that we'll never have the true story.

Forensic techniques, measurements, storage, security, etc. So much has been improved since then.
