Here's what always baffled me:

Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot JFK from the 5th (or was it 6th?) floor of the book depository. Within 90 seconds he dropped the gun, took off down the stairs and ended up in the 2nd floor break room. What I also find odd is that there were secret service agents/security guards waiting on the 2nd floor and immediately after LHO entered the breakroom, they nabbed him, "knowing" it was him who shot JFK. They also report that he did not appear to have just run down 3 flights of stairs (i.e. out of breath, elevated heart rate). Maybe it would be better w/ visuals, but does anyone else see something fishy about this?
Sixth floor, southeast corner window of the Texas School Book Depository (now the Dallas County Administration Building).

As newer evidence comes out in the open about the JFK assassination, I find it harder and harder to believe that this was a nefarious CIA/Mafia/Communist/(insert your favorite scapegoat) conspiracy. With modern investigative techniques, the 'magic bullet' theory as espoused by the Warren commission has been shot to hell - they forgot to take into effect the seat adjustments in the presidential limousine; once that's factored in, the bullet's trajectory straightens itself out... directly to the sniper's perch. It's beginning to look more and more like Oswald was the lone gunman, though who put him up to it is probably the real conspiracy.

Most of us will be long gone when the truth behind JFK's assassination will finally be known.
