Assassination of JFK Debate

Be it Resolved, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK

It’s America’s greatest unsolved murder: who shot JFK? On the 60th anniversary of the Warren Commission, we debate who was really behind the assassination of the 35th President of the United States. One one side of this debate is the lone gunman theory, the U.S. government’s official statement supported by the Warren Commission’s findings. Proponents of this theory argue that shooter Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, without any assistance or interference from outside actors. On the other side are the impassioned theorists who point to doctored evidence and eyewitness accounts as proof that there is more to the story. Whether it was a second gunman on the “grassy knoll,” the mob avenging an unsuccessful coup in Cuba, or an inside job by the CIA, too many suspicious coincidences lead to only one conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone on that fateful day.

Arguing in favour of the resolution is Gerald Posner. He’s an investigative journalist and the author of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK.

Arguing against the resolution is Dick Russell, author of On the Trail of the JFK Assassins: A Groundbreaking Look at America’s Most Infamous Conspiracy.

“The latest advances in science, ballistics and film analysis combined with millions of pages of released government files confirms the simple truth to the question of who killed JFK is Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.”

– GERALD POSNER

“I think there were elements of the CIA and of the Mafia and of Cuban exiles who were involved in this and who used Oswald as a patsy, as he said he was, and as part of their plan to get rid of Kennedy.”

– DICK RUSSELL
