A straight line

[Martin Weidmann]

The investigations by ABC, CBS and PBS as well as the ones done by the NY Times and Washington Post were politically motivated? Restricted by the information available?

They didn't conduct their own interviews? Talk to witnesses themselves? They were "politically motivated"? Really?

Do you know anything about their investigations? Such as the PBS Frontline investigation that interviewed hundreds of witnesses over years?

This is conspiracy nonsense at its finest.

The investigations by ABC, CBS and PBS as well as the ones done by the NY Times and Washington Post were politically motivated?

Do you have a problem reading or just understanding what is written?

Restricted by the information available?

Did those news outlets have full access to the files and physical evidence stored at the National Archives?

They didn't conduct their own interviews?

Who said that?

Talk to witnesses themselves?

They probably did... but which ones? Probably only those mentioned in the WC report, right?

Do you know anything about their investigations? Such as the PBS Frontline investigation that interviewed hundreds of witnesses over years?

Since when does quantity of witnesses being interviewed equal quality of witnesses?

Btw what was the objective of PBS Frontline for their "investigation"? Did they investigate the case or did they just want to find out "Who was Lee Harvey Oswald"?

This is conspiracy nonsense at its finest.

Perhaps you should try to understand the information provided to you before making a judgment, but then on the other hand you're not a LN for nothing, right?

There have been numerous investigations, of course, into the assassination.

Indeed... and basically all used the same evidentiary material

What other material should they have used?

[Martin Weidmann]

What other material should they have used?

What about the material they could have gathered during a real investigation of their own, rather than just rely (time after time) on the material that went through Hoover's filter?

What material would that be exactly and just how would they go about gathering it? Should the material gathered by the Dallas Police and examined by the FBI be ignored?

What material would that be exactly

How in the world would I know what a second investigation would have turned up?

I answered your original question... You figure out the rest.

A second investigation? Have you ever heard of the House Select Committee on Assassinations?

You're the one suggesting that a non-government investigation would be preferable. Why not explain why and then explain  how such an investigation would work? What possible materials could be gathered by a private entity that would have greater evidentiary value than materials gathered by law enforcement agencies?

You mean the HSCA investigation who said

 "The HSCA found that although the Commission and the different agencies and departments examining Kennedy's assassination performed in good faith and were thorough in their investigation of Lee Harvey Oswald, they performed with "varying degrees of competency" and the search for possible conspiracy was inadequate.:2 The HSCA determined, based on available evidence, that the probable conspiracy did not involve the governments of the Soviet Union or Cuba. The committee also stated that the conspiracy did not involve any organized crime group, anti-Castro group, nor the FBI, CIA, or Secret Service."

Seems your HSCA don't support your view that there was no conspiracy.

Of course I have heard of the HSCA and if you had read my earlier comments you would know that and not ask such silly question.

Btw.. did the HSCA conduct a full investigation from scratch or did they mainly re-examine the WC evidence?

You're the one suggesting that a non-government investigation would be preferable.

When and where did I suggest that?

What possible materials could be gathered by a private entity that would have greater evidentiary value than materials gathered by law enforcement agencies?

Where are you getting this BS? Who - except you - is talking about "greater evidentiary value"?
