Reply #113: While I'm perfectly willing to believe that Oswald and Ruby knew each other, and had a conversation,

I seriously doubt that they had that particular conversation. One of the red herrings of the entire Kennedy coverup is the notion that the Kennedy assassination was done by the Mob. Sorry, but given all of the strange "coincidences" surrounding the assassination, there is no way that the Mob could have arranged it all.

There are issues, from changing the page route to planting the full blown cover story in NZ papers that the Mob couldn't have arranged, therefore it is obvious that the Mob didn't plan this one. Were there elements of the Mob involved, sure, but not at the top echelon. Instead they were used more as hired muscle, more patsies if you will. Jack Ruby was one of these. Did he know Oswald, evidence says yes. But there's no way in hell this was a Mob operation.
