Kennedy assassination theories

A number of theories exist with regard to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Often called conspiracy theories, these are usually scenarios involving powerful individuals and/or groups at the time who theoretically had the means, motive and opportunity to plan and execute the John F. Kennedy assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

Some of these theories have overlapping, shared motives within the groups, and some are distinct from each other. All of these theories dispute the plausibility of the official conclusion reached by the Warren Commission, that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone before, during and after the assassination, killed President Kennedy.

Two government investigations and many government committee, board, and panel reports have not settled for most persons the question of who killed John F. Kennedy. Even Richard Nixon was quoted as saying that the Warren Commission was "...the greatest hoax that has ever been perpetuated." Numerable professional polls, from 1963 to the present have consistently shown that 60% to 90% of the people polled do not agree that President Kennedy was killed as the result of a pre-meditated plan formed and implemented by Oswald alone. Looking specifically at the three most recent 2003 polls strongly supports this. An ABC TV News poll reflected that just 32% (plus or minus three percent) of Americans surveyed agree that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while 68% do not agree Oswald acted alone.http://abcnews.go.com/images/pdf/937a1JFKAssassination.pdf A Discovery Channel poll reveals that only 21% agree Oswald acted alone, while 79% do not agree Oswald acted alone. http://poll.discovery.com/servlet/viewsflash?jfk=6&cmd=tally&pollid=jfk&results=data%2Fdsc%2Fpackage%2Fjfk.results.html&submit.x=51&submit.y=6 A History Channel poll details that only 17% of individuals agree that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while 83 percent do not agree Oswald acted alone. http://www.historychannel.com/jfk/jfk_poll_results.jsp
