Reply #51: I'm sure you're correct that the last portion of my post hurts my credibility in certain circles --

[Time for change]

perhaps most circles.

But it involves issues that I have very strong feelings about. I have read several books on the Kennedy assassination, and I have written a 50 page summary demonstrating that the medical evidence is incontravertible that he was shot at least once, and in all probability twice from the front -- the exact opposite conclusion of the Warren Commission. If that isn't very strongly indicative of a coup, then I don't know what is, especially given the tremendous amount of effort that went into pushing the idea of Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin. I summarized the evidence in one of the links in my OP, but it is really quite extensive. All 9 doctors (and the nurse) who treated him at the hospital said he was shot from the front.

I know a lot less about Wellstone's death, but from what I have read about it I feel that there is a very high probability that he was assassinated in order to eliminate him as the strongest liberal influence in the U.S. Senate and to ensure Republcan control of the Senate in 2002.

Nevertheless, for the reason you state, I will eliminate all of the last part of my post when I post this elsewhere.
