John F Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963 (1). A few short days after the president was assassinated, Oswald was captured and killed, leaving many unanswered questions as to why and who was behind the assassination. In 1978 there were reports from the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations that said the Oswald did not act alone (1). When this came about half of the American population ate it up and believed that Oswald did not act alone (1). Also they believed that he was part of larger group know to be working with the Russians. There was another poll in 2003 that was taken that 70% of the population believes that it was part of a conspiracy (1). Americans also believes that the research and investigation done by the Warren Commission is a trustworthy and reliable source, that Oswald did act alone thus meaning there is no conspiracy behind the Presidents death(2). There are many different points a view, especially with the release of many classified documents that had been kept for decades (2). With this release, it sparked a new interest in the conspiracy. In my opinion with the release of these documents it doesn't help the case that there was no conspiracy. I think it would be cool if there was a conspiracy but what I think will happen is once the release of these all the documents it will just prove what we already know.
