Not often I can disagree with Chris Hitchins, but the JFK assassination is clearly something he needed to know more about......a man of vast intellect - one of our foremost and brilliant minds......but clearly not when it comes to the JFK case....

He probably looks at it from a political viewpoint and does not know much about the shooting because a smart cookie like Hitch would figure out the obvious - that there was one assassin and he was in the 6th floor window and his two shots that struck did so some 5+ seconds apart.

Tut tut tut, Patrick... you dealt not at all with Hitchen's statement about what Chief Warren had said.

Speculation will never replace the evidence, you'll can't simply presume that if someone were more conversant with the evidence that they'd suddenly accept the Warren Commission's view. That's provably false. There are many critics who are highly knowledgeable on the case evidence, yet fail to slavishly follow the Warren Commission as so many believers do.
