Just as it was impossible for the Warren Commission to conduct a complete investigation of the events in Dallas because it operated with the preconceived notion that Oswald was the assassin, individual researchers are also limited at the outset if they assume, without any substantive documentation, that they are going to uncover a conspiracy which led America down the road to national tragedy...
Mark Lane is a lawyer, a former New York politician, who represented Lee Harvey Oswald's interests posthumously before the Warren Commission. He is the author of Rush to Judgment, an attack on the Commission, and is one of the oldest and most established researchers into the J.F.K. assassination. Lane has said that asking "Who killed John F. Kennedy?" is simply another way of asking "What went wrong with America?". And indeed this does appear to be a motivating question for many assassination analysts, which may explain why solid, apparently incontrovertible evidence, like the blow up of the Zapruder film...
...reopening the John F. Kennedy case is very compelling. Aside from the Zapruder film, the coincidences and unanswered questions relating to the assassination and the Warren Commission investigation are almost too numerous to keep track of.

A motorcycle policeman who was part of the president's escort and told a number of people, including reporters, that...
...example of how the commission did work when ostensibly investigating, we have the interrogation of Jack Ruby. Earl Warren and then-Congressman Gerald R. Ford went to the Dallas jail in which Ruby was imprisoned after shooting Oswald and asked whether he had any information to impart to the commission. Ruby replied that he had a great deal to say, but that he would only testify in Washington, afraid that if he talked while in the very jail in which he killed Oswald, his own life would he in danger. After refusing to transport Ruby to Washington, despite the fact...
Though Gerald R. Ford may have been too dense to realize the importance, potentially at least, of getting Ruby to testify, he was astute enough to publish classified Warren Commission information for personal profit in his book Oswald: Portrait of an Assassin, despite the fact that he was sworn to secrecy. Ford did not, it should be noted, have any trouble getting his book published due to his position on the assassination, while simultaneously all the networks prohibited coverage of dissenting opinions and edited their programs on the subject to conform with the findings of the commission...
